About this map

Hornsby is the central hub of this Hardeman County landscape, where the Hatchie River and its intricate network of tributaries define the local geography. The river winds through the western portion of the quadrangle, flanked by the low-lying terrain of The Big Bottom. This area is heavily influenced by the drainage patterns of Porters Creek, Wade Creek, and Little Hatchie Creek, which together create a complex riparian environment characteristic of West Tennessee.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Wyatt Cemetery and McCalips Chapel Cemetery, which are tucked away along local routes like Powell Chapel Rd and Gooch Store Rd. To the southeast, the J J Madison Dam manages J J Madison Lake, a notable point of water control in an otherwise naturally flowing watershed. The road network, including historic thoroughfares like Hines Gin Rd and Pea Vine Rd, reveals the legacy of the region's agricultural and ginning history.
