About this map

Chickasaw Bluff Number Four anchors the riverfront in this 2013 survey, where the urban core of Memphis meets the complex hydrology of the Mississippi River. The map details the modern landscape of downtown and North Memphis, including historical areas like the Beale Street National Historic Preservation District and the Cotton Row Historic District. Significant residential and public housing developments such as Lauderdale Courts and Foote Homes are clearly delineated alongside older neighborhoods like Annesdale Park and Frayser.

The river remains the dominant geographic force, carving features such as Mud Island, Robinson Crusoe Island, and the Loosahatchie Bar. Crucial transit connections are mapped in detail, including the Hernando-DeSoto Bridge, the Harahan Bridge, and the Frisco Bridge, which facilitate movement between Tennessee and Arkansas. On the Arkansas side, the landscape shifts toward the rural and alluvial, marked by Saint Claire and the Mound City Chute.
