About this map

Shelby Farms and the extensive grounds of the Shelby County Penal Farm dominate the southwestern portion of this landscape, where a series of numbered reservoirs, from Penal Farm Lake Number One to Number Four, sit just north of the Wolf River. The map captures a period of intense suburban transition within eastern Memphis, illustrating the expansion of residential corridors along Memphis Arlington Rd and Germantown Rd.

Historically distinct communities like Ellendale, Cordova, and Elmore Park are shown integrated into the modern road network, yet they retain their individual identity through local landmarks and water bodies such as Walnut Grove Lake and Robinson Lake. The presence of the Wolfchase Galleria at the intersection of major thoroughfares signals the late-20th-century commercial shift of the region, while the northern reaches near Buckhead Cr and Oliver Cr preserve a more open character compared to the dense residential platting further south.
