About this map

Memphis International Airport serves as a massive industrial and transit hub in this 2010 survey of Shelby County, anchoring a landscape shaped by significant aviation and rail infrastructure. The sheet detail covers the vast rail complexes of Forrest Yards, Yale Yards, and Tennessee Yards, reflecting the region's enduring role as a logistical gateway. These industrial features are interlaced with the winding course of Nonconnah Creek and its many tributaries, including Cypress Creek and Tenmile Creek.

Educational institutions such as the University of Memphis and the Harding University Graduate School of Religion sit alongside established residential grids. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including the Oakville Cemetery, Number Nine Hall Cemetery, and Bethlehem Cemetery. From the Holiday City Post Office to McKeller Park Lake A, the map documents the dense suburban development and public infrastructure of the modern era.
