2012 Map of Greenville

About this map

The Mississippi River carves a dramatic path through this 2012 survey, defining the western edge of Greenville and shaping the low-lying terrain of Tarpley Neck and Archer Island. This riverfront landscape is marked by complex hydraulic features including Bachelor Bend, Miller Bend, and the Leland Cutoff Revetment. The urban layout of Greenville reflects its delta heritage, with a dense street grid punctuated by several culturally significant burial grounds, such as the Jewish Cem, Chinese Cem, and Live Oaks Cem. To the north and east, the map traces the transition from the city core to smaller settlements like Metcalfe and Brighton. This edition captures a modern infrastructure layer including Abide Airport and Fairfield Airport, set against the timeless, shifting hydrography of the river valley, where water bodies like Blue Hole Lake and Archer Lake sit within the wide alluvial plain.
