The decennial count and July 2025 estimate use different reference dates. Land and water measurements come from the 2025 Gazetteer. The density of 62.0 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 Washington County Mississippi map
US 82 crosses the Mississippi River from Greenville into Arkansas and continues east through Leland toward Sunflower County. US 61 is the main north-south corridor, while MS 1 follows the riverward side behind the levee. Only principal port roads, farm entrances, and drainage routes are retained.
Boundary, Water, and Terrain
The Mississippi River and Lake Ferguson create a western port and floodplain landscape. Deer Creek and multiple bayous curve across the eastern plain, contrasting with straight canals and the agricultural road grid. Water acreage is relatively large compared with interior Delta counties that do not touch the main river.
Measured together with Mississippi River and Lake Ferguson, the county covers 760.365 square miles, with water representing approximately 4.8 percent. The placement of Mississippi River and Lake Ferguson explains why the visual hierarchy depends on Greenville and Leland. The approach toward Bolivar is especially useful for distinguishing an edge connection from an internal route. Keeping detail light around Mississippi River and Lake Ferguson preserves the county pattern and leaves exact access to local maps.
Settlement and Regional Context
Greenville concentrates courthouse, medical, port, retail, and cultural functions. Leland is a separate US 82 and Delta heritage center, while Leroy Percy State Park near Hollandale preserves forest and wetland scenery. Washington County’s July 2025 estimate was about 10.0 percent lower than its 2020 census base, a substantial five-year contraction.
Practical Map Uses
- Locate Greenville's US 82 river bridge
- Distinguish Lake Ferguson from the Mississippi River
- Compare eastern Leland with southeastern Hollandale
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lake Ferguson the Mississippi River's main channel?
It is a river-connected bend and harbor waterbody, but it should not be treated as identical to the active navigation channel. Connectivity and water levels can vary.
Which different map roles are served by Greenville, Mississippi River, and the Bolivar side?
Greenville works as a place anchor, Mississippi River as a landscape anchor, and Bolivar as an outer reference for reading three different layers of the county.
