1965 Map of Northwest Memphis

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The Mississippi River and its dynamic alluvial landscape dominate this mid-century view of the riverfront, where the Loosahatchie River and Wolf River converge near the city center. The terrain is marked by shifting bars and islands, including Robinson Crusoe Island and the substantial Mud Island sheltering the Lagoon. The map documents a dense urban fabric extending from the riverbanks through the neighborhoods of Frayser and north Memphis, showing a robust network of educational and religious institutions such as Owen College, Humes Sch, and Our Lady of Sorrows Sch.
