About this map

The Mississippi River dominates the western edge of this Mississippi Delta landscape, defining a complex hydrology of cutoffs and revetments south of Greenville. The river's historical shifts are visible in features like the Leland Cutoff and American Bend, where the channel creates a deep loop around Bell Island. Inland, the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage engineering, including Main Canal, Ditch Number Seven, and Ditch Number Eight A, which support the region's agricultural productivity.

Small settlements and community landmarks are scattered throughout this managed alluvial plain. Swiftwater and Wayside serve as local hubs, while Lakeview Gardens Com provides a genealogical touchpoint for the area. The map also captures aviation and river infrastructure, from the Country Club Airport near the center of the sheet to Warfield Landing and the Warfield Revetment along the riverbank. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern configuration of a landscape that has been perpetually reshaped by both the river and drainage efforts.
