2016 Map of Eads

About this map

Lakeland and Arlington anchor the northern reaches of this East Memphis suburban and rural landscape, where the Shelby Co Fayette Co line defines the eastern boundary. The area is marked by a complex network of man-made waterways, including the Cypress Creek Canal and Grays Creek Canal, which drain the lowlands of Spain Bottom. Modern transit corridors like the Paul W Barret Pkwy and I-40 slice through older crossroads settlements, yet the land retains deep ties to its 19th-century roots through a dense concentration of burial grounds. Genealogists can trace family names at sites like Chambers Chapel Cem, Wells Cem, and Seward Cem. The presence of the Visible School-Music and Worship Arts Coll in Bartlett and small airstrips like Parker Airport highlight the mix of educational and private aviation infrastructure serving these growing Tennessee communities.
