1974 Map of Greenwood SW

About this map

Greenwood sits at the heart of this orthophotomap, showing the concentrated urban development and residential grids surrounded by the sweeping meanders of the Yazoo River basin in the mid-1970s. The aerial imagery highlights the sharp contrast between the dense street network of the city and the vast, patterned agricultural fields that dominate the surrounding Delta landscape. The winding river channels and oxbow-like formations visible from this 1974 perspective reveal how water has historically shaped the layout of the town and its outskirts. This photographic study provides a clear look at the infrastructure of the era, from the industrial sites along the riverbanks to the major roadway corridors connecting the community to the wider region.
