2020 Map of Sidon

About this map

The Yazoo River defines the western reaches of this landscape, its winding course marked by hydrological features such as the Sidon Cut-Off and numerous oxbow formations like Fish Lake and Bee Lake. In the northern portion, the outskirts of Greenwood give way to smaller riverside settlements including Rising Sun and Roebuck. This 2020 survey documents a transition from the structured street grids of the county seat to the sprawling wetlands and agricultural tracts characteristic of the Delta. Local history is anchored in the numerous burial grounds and spiritual centers dotting the terrain, from Greenwood Memorial Park to the Mount Pisgah Cem and Saint Paul Cem. The drainage network, including Pelucia Creek and Walker Lake Canal, illustrates the extensive engineering required to manage this water-rich environment between the Leflore and Carroll County line.
