2015 Map of Glendora

About this map

The Tallahatchie River meanders through this portion of the Mississippi Delta, defining the landscape between Glendora and Minter City. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain deeply influenced by water management and agriculture, where the Upper Glendora Cut-Off and Lower Glendora Cut-Off illustrate efforts to channel the river's flow. The map is a valuable resource for genealogists, documenting several community landmarks such as Saint Marys Cem, Saint Peter Cem, and Jacobs Chapel Cem. A network of rural roads, including Equen Plantation Rd and Buford Landing St, connects the scattered settlements of Whitehead and Somerville. The presence of Black Bayou Junction and numerous bayous, such as Dugan Bayou and Parks Bayou, underscores the wetland nature of the boundary between Tallahatchie Co and Leflore Co.
