About this map

Memphis expanded into its northeastern suburban reaches by the late 2010s, showing a densely gridded residential landscape interlaced with historical burial grounds and natural waterways. The Wolf River serves as a central geographical spine, meandering through the center of the sheet and feeding tributaries like Fletcher Creek and Cypress Cr. This era of the city's development is defined by established neighborhoods such as Hollywood, Frayser, and Berclair, which sit alongside the industrial and transit corridors of the CSX railroad and major pikes.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant data in the numerous dedicated spaces, including the large Memphis National Cem and smaller community sites like Egypt Cem and Barton Cem. The map captures the transition from the historic town center of Raleigh to the growing municipality of Bartlett, recording how various small lakes like Lake Windermere and Sky Lake have been integrated into the modern suburban fabric of Shelby County.
