2018 Map of Greenwood

About this map

Greenwood serves as the focal point of this Mississippi Delta landscape, situated at the confluence of the Tallahatchie River and the Yalobusha River, which join here to form the Yazoo River. The map documents the city's modern street grid and its connection to outlying areas like Grenada Junction and Wakeland. For genealogists, the survey is particularly detailed regarding burial sites, noting several significant locations such as Old Greenwood Cem, Magnolia Cem, and rural spots like Little Zion Cem and Saint Mark Cem. The surrounding terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous oxbows and waterways including Old Orchard Lake, Two Mile Lake, and the Big Sand Creek Cutoff. The map also captures the industrial and agricultural infrastructure of the region, from the Walker Lake Canal to the various county roads that thread through the delta lowlands.
