2018 Map of Glendora

About this map

The Tallahatchie River meanders through this portion of the Mississippi Delta, defining a landscape shaped by historical plantation boundaries and agricultural drainage. In the northern reaches, the community of Glendora sits near the river's edge, characterized by a series of distinct cut-offs like the Upper Glendora Cut-Off and Lower Glendora Cut-Off, which reveal the shifting nature of the river's course over time. The map is particularly rich in genealogical data, preserving the locations of numerous burial sites such as Saint Peter Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Jones Grove Cem scattered across the alluvial plains.
