About this map

The town of Collierville sits as a primary hub of development in southeastern Shelby County during the mid-1960s, bisected by the Southern RR railroad line. The surrounding landscape is a mix of agricultural plots and bottomlands, defined by the winding course of the Wolf River to the north and Nonconnah Creek to the south. This era shows the community's established social fabric through several country churches and burial grounds, including St James Ch and the Magnolia Cem.

Suburban expansion is visible near the Collierville Sch, while smaller outlying settlements like Bailey and Piperton maintain their distinct identities along the rail corridor. The transition from Fayette County is marked by the Shelby Co Fayette Co boundary line, where the terrain becomes increasingly rural, dotted with Gravel Pits and connected by historic routes such as La Grange Road and Winchester Road.
