2020 Map of Greenwood

About this map

Greenwood serves as the focal point of this Mississippi Delta landscape, situated at the confluence where the Tallahatchie River and the Yalobusha River join to form the Yazoo River. The city's civic heart is anchored by the Leflore County Courthouse, surrounded by a dense network of streets that give way to the expansive wetlands and agricultural tracts characteristic of the region. Notable water features like Hells Halfacre, Mossy Lakes, and the Big Sand Creek Cutoff illustrate the complex hydrology of the low-lying plains. Several historic burial sites, including Old Greenwood Cem and Little Zion Cem, are scattered throughout the rural outskirts and city blocks, providing vital touchpoints for genealogical research. Smaller outlying settlements such as Fort Loring, Wildwood, and Craigside dot the perimeter, connected by a web of rural routes like Money Rd that trace the meanders of the river systems.
