About this map

The delta community of Cleveland serves as a vibrant hub of education and transport in the mid-1960s, anchored by the campus of Delta State College and the University. This landscape is deeply defined by its water management and agricultural infrastructure, where the Illinois Central railroad runs parallel to the winding course of Jones Bayou. The town's grid expands toward Firemans Park and East Side Park, while the outskirts are punctuated by specialized land uses including a Fish Farm and multiple Sewage Disposal Ponds.

Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural homesteads and spiritual centers like New Bethel Ch and White Star Ch. The eastern edge is bounded by the Big Sunflower River, which meanders past St Johns Ch. This survey captures the region's character as a productive agricultural center where small settlements like Boyle and O'Reilly dot the rail line, supported by a network of bayous including Lead Bayou and Standing Stump Bayou.
