2020 Map of Glendora

About this map

Glendora and Minter City anchor this landscape along the border of Tallahatchie and Leflore counties, where the winding Tallahatchie River defines the local geography. The river's historical meanders are visible through features like the Upper Glendora Cut-Off and Lower Glendora Cut-Off, illustrating the engineering efforts to manage water flow in this delta region. The area is dotted with several notable cemeteries, including Saint Peter Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Saint Clare Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracking family histories in the vicinity of Whitehead and Somerville. To the north, the expanse of Swan Lake and the Black Bayou drainage system highlight the wetland characteristics of the terrain. The presence of the Buford Landing Strip and a network of plantation roads, such as Equien Plantation Rd, reflects the agricultural infrastructure that has long sustained the communities here.
