About this map

Memphis serves as the Scotland County seat, its grid centered on the Scotland County Courthouse and a surrounding network of residential streets like Lovers Ln and W Mety Ave. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the North Fabius River and its tributaries, including Pony Cr and Gunns Br, which carve through the rural acreage surrounding the town. Significant local landmarks such as the Memphis Memorial Airport and the recreational waters of Memphis Lake stand west of the town center.

Genealogists will find interest in the scattered rural burial grounds, including Antioch Cem near Tobin Cr, Concord Cem to the southeast, and Clark Cem to the north. The map details a transition from the structured blocks of the town to a landscape of winding country roads such as Nancy Rd and Oak Forest Rd, illustrating the intersection of civil government and the agricultural character of northern Missouri.
