About this map

The winding course of Deer Creek anchors this landscape in Washington County, weaving between the historic centers of Leland and Stoneville. The map captures a region defined by agricultural research and aviation, centered on the Experiment Station and the expansive Greenville Mid-Delta Airport near the northern border. Small settlements like Magenta, Elizabeth, and Dunkirk dot the periphery, connected by a network of farm roads and bayous including Clark Bayou and Red Bridge Bayou.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, from the large Greenlawn Memorial Gardens on the outskirts of Greenville to smaller sites like Oakland Cem, Lamont Cem, and the Stoneville-Leland Cem. The street grid of Leland is shown in high detail, illustrating the town's orientation along the creek and its proximity to the industrial and agricultural hubs that historically drove the Delta economy.
