1939 Map of Memphis
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
The Mississippi River serves as the powerful divide between Shelby County, Tennessee, and Crittenden County, Arkansas, during this late 1930s era. The urban grid of Memphis dominates the eastern bank, featuring established neighborhoods like New South Memphis and Rugby, while the Arkansas side is characterized by smaller settlements such as West Memphis and Mound City. The river's dynamic nature is evident in the complex network of chutes and islands, including Robinson Crusoe Island and the expansive Presidents Island No 45.
