The Leflore County Mississippi map is organized around Greenwood at a major river junction, then extends west to Itta Bena, northwest to Schlater, south to Sidon, and southwest to Morgan City. On the flat Delta plain, the Yazoo River and US 82/US 49E corridors provide stronger orientation than relief.

The decennial count and July 2025 estimate use different reference dates. Land and water measurements come from the 2025 Gazetteer. The density of 47.7 residents per square mile divides the 2020 population by 2025 land area and does not imply an even distribution among cities, farms, forest, or wetland.
Reading the Leflore County Mississippi map
US 82 leads west from Greenwood toward Itta Bena and Sunflower County and east toward the Carroll County hills. Schlater marks the northwest, Sidon the southern US 49E corridor, and Morgan City the Humphreys County approach. Levee roads, farm entrances, and the full grid of drainage ditches are too detailed for this general reference map.
Boundary, Water, and Terrain
The Tallahatchie and Yalobusha rivers meet near Greenwood and continue as the Yazoo River. Most of the county is alluvial plain with little elevation change, but natural levees, former channels, oxbows, and drainage works strongly influence roads and fields. The Delta's eastern edge rises toward Carroll and Holmes counties.
Settlement and Regional Context
Greenwood developed where rivers, rail lines, and highways concentrated trade and administration, and its history is closely tied to cotton and Delta agriculture. Mississippi Valley State University near Itta Bena creates a separate educational anchor in the west. The 2025 estimate is about 9.4 percent below the 2020 count, adding demographic context to the broad rural landscape.
Practical Map Uses
- Identify the river junction beside Greenwood
- Follow US 82 between Greenwood and Itta Bena
- Use Schlater, Sidon, and Morgan City to divide rural Delta directions
