1965 Map of Northwest Memphis

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Mud Island and the sprawling Wolf River drainage define this riverfront landscape at the mid-century peak of the city's industrial and urban expansion. The western bank, largely undeveloped and prone to the seasonal shifts of the Mississippi River, features major landmarks like Chicken Island and Robinson Crusoe Island alongside the protective St Francis Levee. On the eastern shore, the core of Memphis is a dense grid of infrastructure, showing the extensive medical complexes of the Univ of Tennessee Medical Center and various Hospitals alongside the established neighborhood of Frayser.
