About this map

The Tennessee-Mississippi border serves as the primary axis for this survey of the suburban and rural landscapes south of Memphis. Development patterns here shift from the dense residential networks of Southaven and Horn Lake in the north to the more open, creek-bottom terrain of Hernando and Nesbit further south. The map documents a complex transition between the urban reach of Shelby and DeSoto Counties, showing how modern arterial roads such as State Line Rd and Goodman Rd W have shaped the growth of communities like Lynchburg and Twin Lakes.

Beyond the suburban expansion, the landscape is defined by its watercourses, including Horn Lake Creek and the meandering path of Hurricane Creek. Smaller, more traditional settlements such as Barnesville, West Days, and Days are visible among the drainage basins of Johnson Creek and Lake Lipscomb. For genealogists and local historians, the New Bethlehem Cem remains a notable landmark in the central portion of the map, situated amidst the developing road networks of Township 1 South, Range 8 West.
