About this map

Millington and the surrounding Shelby County landscape appear in the early 1970s as a mix of major military installations and traditional rural crossroads. The U S Naval Air Station and U S Naval Hospital occupy the northwest, featuring a dense network of barracks, athletic fields, and a golf course. These modern facilities stand in contrast to the established community landmarks nearby, such as Bethlehem Ch and St James Cem Ch.

Southward, the terrain is shaped by the Loosahatchie River and its associated Drainage Canal, which bisect the quadrangle near Pleasant Ridge. Small settlements like Rosemark, Bolton, and Brunswick are connected by a grid of named rural routes including Rosemark Road and Old Brownsville Road. The rail infrastructure is represented by the Illinois Central Gulf and Louisville and Nashville lines, reflecting the regional transportation patterns before the expansion of the Memphis suburbs.
