2016 Map of Ellendale

About this map

Memphis and its northeastern expansion define this mid-2010s landscape, where suburban residential development meets the natural corridor of the Wolf River. The community of Ellendale sits in the northern section, while Cordova occupies the southeast, reflecting the rapid growth of Shelby County in this era. A series of water bodies, including Penal Farm Lake Number One through Number Four, suggest a history of agricultural or utility-based land use now integrated into the urban fabric. Large memorial sites and recreational areas, such as Memory Hill Gardens and the Colonial Country Club, occupy significant acreage between the major transit arteries of Sam Cooper Blvd and Stage Rd. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including New Hope Cem and the small Toll Gate Cem, providing vital points for local family history research.
