1965 Map of Collierville

About this map

Collierville stands as the central hub of this eastern Shelby County landscape, positioned along the Southern railroad line as it heads toward the Shelby Co Fayette Co boundary. In the mid-1960s, the area retained a distinctly agrarian and small-town character, before the massive suburban expansion of later decades reached this far east. Along the Wolf River, a series of Gravel Pits and a prominent Houston Levee indicate the industrial and flood-control efforts of the era, while the rural roads are dotted with family and community landmarks like St Marks Cem and Magnolia Cem.
