1981 Map of Greensburg

About this map

Greensburg serves as the focal point of this St. Helena Parish landscape, where the confluence of several vital watercourses, including the Tickfaw River and Twelvemile Creek, has shaped the settlement patterns of the region. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Foster Cem, Brumfield Cem, and Womack-Muse Cem, reflecting generations of local lineage and the rural distribution of the parish. Educational and medical infrastructure is anchored by the St Helena Sch and the Parish Hosp, while spiritual life is documented through landmarks like St Mary Ch and Womack Chapel. Beyond the town center, the terrain is defined by a dense network of timbered branches like Joseph Branch and Beaver Branch, interspersed with small-scale industrial activity such as Gravel Pit and scattered Drill Holes. This survey provides a clear look at the parish seat just as the surrounding landscape maintained its traditional rural character in the early 1980s.
