About this map

U S Naval Air Station Millington dominates the western landscape of this Shelby County map, reflecting the significant military presence north of Memphis in the early 1970s. The facility, complete with an adjoining US Naval Hosp, stands in contrast to the surrounding agricultural and rural residential patterns. Small, historically grounded settlements like Rosemark, Brunswick, and Bolton are scattered throughout, often centered on local institutions such as Bethlehem Ch and Eastdale Academy.

The hydrography is defined by the Loosahatchie River and engineered waterways like the Big Creek Drainage Canal. Large-scale recreation is represented by the expansive Edmund Orgill Park and Casper Lake. Local family history is preserved in sites like Bethuel Cem and Smith Cem, while the road network, including Covington Pike and Brownsville Road, connects these outlying communities to the developing suburbs.
