2018 Map of Leland

About this map

Greenville and Leland anchor this Washington County landscape, where the meandering course of Deer Creek dictates the historical development of the Delta's agricultural and transportation corridors. The map highlights the significant infrastructure of the Greenville Mid-Delta Airport in the northwest, serving as a hub for the region's aviation needs. Small settlements such as Stoneville, Metcalfe, and Magenta are scattered throughout the fertile plains, often clustered near the intricate network of bayous including Roper Bayou, Clark Bayou, and McCutcheon Bayou. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, ranging from Greenlawn Memorial Gardens to smaller family or community plots like Christian Life Cem, Shamrock Cem, and Oakland Cem. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted agrarian society, with numerous roads like Feather Farms Rd and Deer Creek Dr following the natural curves of the waterways and the straight lines of section boundaries.
