About this map

The Wolf River winds through this urban and suburban landscape, serving as a natural divider between the industrial rail corridors and the established residential neighborhoods of northeast Memphis. Significant logistics infrastructure is evident at Hollywood Yards and Leewood Yards, highlighting the area's role as a transportation hub. The map captures the distinct character of varied communities, from the planned layout of Chickasaw Gardens and Hedgemoor to the older centers of Raleigh and Binghampton.

Water management is a central theme, with several small reservoirs like Sky Lake, Lochnevin Lake, and Lake Windermere dotting the northern terrain, each controlled by its own dam. These suburban water features contrast with the drainage network of Cypress Cr and Fletcher Cr that services the more densely developed southern sections. Major thoroughfares such as Sam Cooper Blvd and Covington Pike provide the modern framework for the region's growth, connecting historic settlements like Egypt and Berclair into the metropolitan whole.
