About this map

The Memphis community serves as the central hub of this Northeast Missouri landscape, where the North Fabius River and several of its tributaries, including Gunns Branch and Pony Creek, carve a winding path through the terrain. The town's grid is surrounded by smaller settlements like Nauvoo and essential local infrastructure such as the Memphis Memorial Airport. The map highlights a significant emphasis on water management and recreation for the county, evidenced by the Memphis Lake and Park Dam and the nearby Memphis Reservoir.

For those researching local family history, several burial grounds are documented, including Clark Cemetery to the north and Concord Cemetery to the south. The road network, featuring names like Wiggins Way and Lake Showme Dr, reflects a modern rural layout that remains deeply connected to the natural hydrology of Indian Creek and Tobin Creek. Small-scale agricultural and private developments are indicated by landmarks such as the Meyers Lake Dam and Miller and Sons Lake Dam.
