1967 Map of Leland

About this map

Deer Creek meanders through this portion of Washington County, anchoring a landscape defined by agricultural research and transit. The Delta Experimental Forest occupies a significant tract in the northeast, while the Illinois Central railroad serves as the primary artery connecting the hub of Leland with nearby Stoneville and Elizabeth. This 1960s survey documents the region's deep historical roots through several Indian Mounds and a dense network of family and community landmarks, including the Stoneville-Leland Cem and Mt Ararat Ch. Aviation infrastructure is prominent, featuring the Greenville Municipal Airport and smaller facilities like Huntley Airport. The map also captures specialized land use such as the Fish Farm and various sewage disposal ponds, reflecting the mid-century industrial and scientific character of the Mississippi Delta.
