2010 Map of Ellendale

About this map

The Wolf River floodplain and its northern drainage basins define this portion of Shelby County during a period of significant suburban expansion. The sprawling Shelby County Penal Farm occupies much of the southern landscape, characterized by a series of engineered water bodies including Penal Farm Lake Number One and Penal Farm Lake Number Four. This institutional land use stands in contrast to the dense residential and commercial developments spreading from Bartlett and the Cordova Post Office area. A notable concentration of memorial sites, such as Memory Hill Gardens and Toll Gate Cemetery, serves the growing population centers. The map also captures the commercial significance of the Wolfchase Galleria and the presence of the Ranger Airport, illustrating the transition from rural agricultural land to a complex urban-suburban corridor.
