2015 Map of Greenville

About this map

Greenville serves as the focal point of this Mississippi Delta landscape, situated along the complex bends of the Mississippi River. The map documents the city's relationship with the water, showing the intricate landforms created by the river's shifting course, including Tarpley Neck, Bachelor Bend, and Point Chicot. The presence of several distinct burial grounds, such as the Jewish Cem and Chinese Cem, reflects the diverse cultural history of this river port. North of the city, the Columbus & Greenville Railway cuts through the flat alluvial plain toward Metcalfe, while outlying settlements like Winterville and Hunt mark the agricultural hinterland. The map's detail extends to local infrastructure, capturing the Live Oaks Sch and numerous family-named roads that suggest long-standing land ownership patterns in Washington County.
