2018 Map of Wayside

About this map

Greenville sits at the northern edge of this Delta landscape, where the shifting hydrology of the Mississippi River defines the border between Washington County, Mississippi, and Chicot County, Arkansas. The map illustrates a highly engineered agricultural environment, crisscrossed by an extensive drainage network including Ditch Number Five, Ditch Number Eight, and the Main Canal. These channels work in tandem with the massive Levee Rd system to manage the fertile floodplains surrounding settlements like Swiftwater and Wayside.
