2019 Map of Hornsby

About this map

Hornsby serves as the primary settlement on this West Tennessee landscape, situated north of the expansive lowlands known as The Big Bottom. The map reveals a rural geography defined by its creek systems, including Porters Creek, Little Hatchie Creek, and Dog Tail Cr, which carve through the terrain near the junction of Hardeman, McNairy, and Chester counties. Genealogy researchers will find several family-named burial sites scattered across the countryside, such as Wyatt Cem, Hatchie Cem, and McCalips Chapel Cem. South of the main village, the small community of Serles sits near the confluence of Porters Creek and several smaller tributaries like Prairie Br. The road network, featuring routes like Webb Mill Bridge Rd and Powell Chapel Rd, reflects a long-standing agricultural and timber-based economy tied to the surrounding bottomlands and local waterways.
