About this map

Lakeland and the surrounding Shelby County landscape appear here in a period of suburban transition, where residential development meets a complex network of managed waterways. The area is defined by numerous man-made reservoirs and dams, including Lakeland Lake, Paradise Lake, and a series of numbered catchments along Marys Creek. To the east, the Eads Post Office serves a more rural stretch of terrain characterized by Spain Bottom and the winding course of Grays Creek.

Genealogists will find a high density of historic burial grounds such as Log Union Cemetery, Morning Sun Cemetery, and Fisherville Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the quadrangle alongside family-named landmarks like the Richardson Strip Airport. The southeastern corner features the expansive Herb Parsons Lake, overseen by the Morris Lookout Tower. This 2010 survey documents the road network expansion, including Donelson Farms Pkwy and E Davies Plantation Rd, as the metropolitan reach of Memphis moved further into the Tennessee countryside.
