1965 Map of Memphis

About this map

Memphis serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, situated along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy rail line in Scotland County. The town's local infrastructure is well-defined, including the High Sch, Waterworks, and the County Fairground to the west. The surrounding rural landscape is shaped by the winding North Fork Fabius River and several smaller tributaries like Gunn Branch and Indian Creek. Numerous rural landmarks provide valuable points for genealogy and local history research, such as Oakridge Ch, Antioch Ch, and the Clark Cem. To the southwest of the town center, the Memphis Reservoir and Memphis Country Club indicate the development of local recreation, while the Memphis-Schenck Airstrip marks a point of private aviation history north of the river. The southern portion of the quadrangle transitions into the Sand Hill terrain near Concord Cem.
