1966 Map of Greenville SW

About this map

St Francis River and the expanding waters of Wappapello Lake dominate this mid-century Missouri landscape, where the valley topography was significantly altered by the impoundment of the river. The map provides a critical look at the relocation of Greenville, showing the settlement's newer position relative to the submerged lands where the Old Greenville Cem remains a significant local landmark. This era of transformation is further documented by the network of family-named burial grounds including Stephens Cem, Hickman Cem, and Wight Cem that dot the ridges above the flood zone.
