2013 Map of Millington

About this map

Millington Regional Jetport Airport and Charles W. Baker Airport anchor the aviation-heavy landscape of northern Shelby County. This area north of Memphis shows a mix of suburban development and rural legacies, with small communities like Sloanville, West Union, and Griffin Corner distributed along the grid of county roads. The landscape is heavily defined by mid-century water management infrastructure, including the Big Creek Drainage Canal and the Loosahatchie River Drainage Canal, which channel the region's tributaries toward the Mississippi. Agricultural roots persist at Bland Farms and Jones Orchard, while water bodies such as Mitchell Lake Number One and Williams Lake offer pockets of recreation amid the expanding residential tracts. The map details the transition from rural crossroads like Cuba to the industrial and logistical hubs that support the regional economy in the modern era.
