1943 Map of Collierville

About this map

Collierville stands as a primary hub of activity along the Southern line during this wartime era, marking the transition between the agricultural lands of Shelby and Fayette counties. The landscape is defined by the east-west flow of the Wolf River, which is flanked by a dense network of country churches and community schools that reveal the social geography of the 1940s. Of particular historical significance is the Augusta Rosenwald Sch north of the river, representing a specific era of rural education infrastructure.
