1965 Map of Memphis

About this map

Memphis serves as the central hub of this Scotland County survey, which documents the landscape during a period of transition in the mid-1960s. The town's grid is well-defined, containing the High Sch, Waterworks, and the Memphis Cem to the east. Surrounding the settlement, the geography is marked by the winding courses of the North Fork Fabius River and the North Fabius River. Transportation history is evident in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the terrain, alongside newer developments like the Memphis Memorial Airport and the Memphis Reservoir. Rural life is anchored by a network of local landmarks, including Oakridge Ch, Meadow Ch, and Antioch Ch, providing valuable touchpoints for genealogists tracing family roots through the scattered burial grounds of Clark Cem and Concord Cem.
