The Wolf River meanders across the northern half of this landscape, forming a natural boundary near the border of Shelby and Fayette Counties. This modern record of the eastern Memphis suburbs shows the dense suburban residential development surrounding Collierville and Germantown, yet it still preserves the locations of numerous historic burial grounds that predate the modern housing tracts. Genealogists can identify small, localized family and community sites like the Bethany Cem, Kirk Family Cem, and the Bedford Plantation Cem. The southern portion of the map is defined by the Nonconnah Creek drainage system and landmarks like the Old Salem Presbyterian Church Cem. These features, along with modern additions like the Houston Levee Golf Course Lake, illustrate the complete transformation of former agricultural lands into an integrated metropolitan corridor.
