2020 Map of Shellmound
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
The Tallahatchie River and Yazoo River converge in this delta landscape, defining the water-rich geography of the region. The map captures the western outskirts of Greenwood and the concentrated campus of Mississippi Valley State University near Itta Bena. This area is characterized by intricate drainage patterns and low-lying wetlands, evidenced by features like Ashland Brake, Turo Brake, and Gin Bayou. The settlement at Shellmound and the historic vicinity of Fort Loring anchor the local geography, while Saint Pauls Cem provides a point of genealogical interest. The grid of county roads, including Co RD 114 and Co RD 517, illustrates the modern connectivity between these Delta communities and the expansive agricultural lands that surround them.
