About this map

Greenville serves as the focal point of this Mississippi Delta landscape, where the Mississippi River carves a complex boundary between Washington County and Chicot County, Arkansas. The river's historical shifts are clearly visible through the arcs of Bachelor Bend and Point Chicot, along with the Tarpley Cutoff and Leland Cutoff. These features demonstrate the restless nature of the river before modern engineering fully stabilized its course.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the diverse array of burial sites, including the Chinese Cem, Jewish Cem, and Live Oaks Cem within the city, while the Old Mount Tabor Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem lie further north near Winterville. The map also details the transition from the dense street grid of the city to the industrial and agricultural outskirts, marked by Metcalfe and features like the Main Canal.
