1974 Map of Greenwood NE

About this map

Avalon stands as a focal point in this 1974 orthophotoquad, situated within a complex landscape of agricultural fields and dense woodland. The imagery reveals the intricate, meandering path of the Yalobusha River as it winds through the northern portion of the quadrangle. Unlike a traditional topographic map, this aerial perspective provides a raw look at land use patterns during the mid-1970s, showing the clear distinction between cleared bottomlands and the shadowed timber tracts that define this part of the Mississippi Delta margin. The alignment of roads and property boundaries radiating from the settlement area highlights the historical reliance on the river's drainage basin for local transit and farming.
