1960 Map of Memphis
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Mississippi River geography dominates this mid-century view, capturing the industrial and residential expansion across the Tennessee-Arkansas state line. In Tennessee, the development of Presidents Island No. 45 and the adjacent Industrial Development Area reflects a massive effort to harness the waterfront, while neighborhoods like Whitehaven and Frayser show the post-war suburban footprint. On the Arkansas side, the city of West Memphis is centered between the Military Road and complex drainage systems like Ten Mile Bayou and Fifteen Mile Bayou.
