2015 Map of Cleveland

About this map

Cleveland serves as the focal point of this Mississippi Delta landscape, where the campus of Delta State University and the town's street grid meet a network of agricultural roads and bayous. The town is flanked by smaller settlements like Boyle to the south and Halstead to the east, illustrating the dense placement of communities in this fertile region. The presence of South Illinois Central Avenue marks the importance of the rail corridor in shaping the local economy. Beyond the urban center, the land is defined by a complex drainage system including Peach Bayou, Jones Bayou, and the winding Big Sunflower River on the eastern edge. Genealogists will find several burial sites noted across the quadrangle, such as Poplar Grove Cemetery, Fairview Cemetery, and Christian Cemetery, providing specific points of interest for local history and family research.
