About this map

The suburban expansion of Memphis into Shelby County is clearly visible on this mid-1960s survey, updated with purple revisions in the early 1970s. Residential growth centers on Germantown and White Station, where new subdivisions are filling in the spaces between the Southern railroad and Nonconnah Creek. The map documents a significant educational landscape, featuring prominent institutions such as Memphis University Sch, Hutchison Sch, and Lausanne Sch.

North of the developed areas, the Wolf River meanders through more open terrain, accompanied by landmarks like Walnut Grove Lake and Bazemore. Recreational development is well-established, evidenced by the Ridgeway Country Club and Windyke Country Club. Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by clear markings for Memphis Memorial Park, Mount Moriah Cem, and numerous country churches including Eastland Ch and New Sardis Ch.
