2013 Map of Gates

About this map

Gates and the surrounding agricultural corridor of West Tennessee are defined by a network of rural settlements and named creek basins. The landscape follows the paths of Sunrow Cr and Halls Cr, which weave through small communities such as Nankipoo, Curve, and Flippin. For genealogists, the map preserves the location of family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure, including Crossroads Cemetery Rd and Leggett Cemetery Rd. Named roads like Aunt Lillie Spur, Buddy Moore RD, and Bob Ellis Rd suggest deep-rooted local history. The southern portion of the map transitions into the drainage of Cane Cr near Woodville and the settlement of Forked Deer, illustrating the rural settlement patterns that have persisted for generations.
