2019 Map of Southwest Memphis

About this map

Lake McKellar and the industrial corridors of South Memphis define this modern landscape, where the waters of the Mississippi River separate Tennessee from Arkansas. The area is densely packed with history-rich burial grounds, including the expansive Elmwood Cem, Calvary Cem, and Baron Hirsch Cem, reflecting the city's complex genealogical record. The industrial heart of the region is visible through labels like Mallory and West Junction, while the presence of the Isle-A-Port Airport on Presidents Island Number Forty-five highlights the logistical importance of the riverfront. Moving south into Whitehaven, the grid gives way to suburban developments and landmarks like Southland Mall, set against natural drainage features such as Nonconnah Creek and Cypress Cr. This 2019 survey documents the transition from heavy industrial waterfronts and rail hubs at East Junction to established residential communities.
