1956 Map of Memphis
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Mississippi River serves as the dominant geographic anchor of this mid-century survey, dividing the flatlands of eastern Arkansas from the rising bluffs of Memphis and Shelby County. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the Mississippi Delta, where the St Francis River and L'Anguille River meander through a grid of drainage ditches and bayous. In Arkansas, Crowleys Ridge provides a distinct rise above the surrounding alluvial plain, supporting settlements like Jonesboro and Harrisburg.
