2011 Map of Wayside

About this map

Swiftwater and Wayside anchor this landscape along the eastern bank of the Mississippi River south of Greenville. The terrain is defined by the complex water engineering of the Delta, featuring a dense network of drainage projects including Ditch Number Five and Main Canal. Evidence of the region's dynamic river history is visible in features like the La Grange Crevasse and the Leland Cutoff, where the river has carved and reshaped the land over time. The map also documents modern agricultural and local infrastructure, from the L and W Catfish Ponds Dam to family-named landmarks like the James and Bobby Dycus Pond Dam. Between the small settlements, large tracts are dedicated to aviation and community spaces, including the Fairfield Airport and the Lakeview Gardens Cemetery.
