USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The settlement of Hornsby serves as a focal point for this survey of the Hardeman County landscape, situated where the Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad corridor cuts across the northern terrain. The landscape is dominated by the meandering course of the Hatchie River and its expansive floodplain, identified as The Big Bottom. This river system, joined by tributaries like Little Hatchie Creek and Dog Tail Creek, creates a complex network of wetlands and sloughs that likely dictated the placement of early homesteads and transport routes.
