About this map

Millington and the northern outskirts of Memphis anchor this landscape, where developed residential centers meet the industrial and transportation corridors of northern Shelby County. The area is defined by significant drainage projects, including the Big Creek Drainage Canal and the Loosahatchie River Drainage Canal, which manage the low-lying terrain near the Mississippi floodplains. Aviation history and regional infrastructure are prominent at the Millington Regional Jetport and the Charles W Baker Airport.

For those researching family history, numerous small burial grounds are distributed across the rural-suburban transition, such as Zion Hill Cem, Goldsby Cem, and Independence Cem. Historic communities like Lucy, Sloanville, and West Union provide a look at the established settlement patterns before modern expansion merged these areas into the greater Memphis metropolitan fabric. The presence of multiple numbered reservoirs, including Mitchell Lake Number One and Mitchell Lake Number Three, highlights the managed water systems central to the region.
