1982 Map of Greenwood

About this map

The Yazoo River takes form at the confluence of the Tallahatchie River and Yalobusha River just north of Greenwood. This delta landscape is defined by its winding waterways and the heavy presence of the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad, which skirts the eastern edge of the city. Notable for local history, the map depicts several rural churches and burial sites, including Little Zion Ch and Loggins Cem, scattered across the agricultural flats. In the city center, the Courthouse and City Hall anchor the grid, while the Florewood River Plantation Museum provides a specific focal point for the region's heritage west of the main settlement. The presence of the Sand Creek Cutoff and various bayous like Williamson Bayou reflects the complex water management essential to this riverine environment.
