2019 Map of Masseyville

About this map

The boundary between Chester Co and McNairy Co bisects this Tennessee landscape, defined by a network of small family-named settlements and rural crossroads. Small communities like Masseyville, Hickory Corners, and Laurel Hill are connected by a web of country roads such as Silerton Rd and Old Sobby Rd. The drainage of the Little Hatchie Cr and its tributaries, including Hogwallow Cr and Swaim Cr, creates a diverse topography of bottomlands like Thomas Bottom and named rises such as Rose Hill and Crown Point Hill. This 2019 survey documents a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Old Friendship Cem, Cave Springs Cem, and Hurst Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogical research. The eastern edge of the map shows the growth near Bethel Springs and the village of Finger, where the land begins to level out toward Horse Cr.
