2010 Map of Mount Peter

About this map

The settlement of Finger and the surrounding rural landscapes of McNairy County are captured here during a time of modern continuity for these West Tennessee communities. The terrain is defined by a dense network of family-named landmarks and cemeteries, suggesting a deep-rooted genealogical history. Features such as Mount Carmel Cemetery, Lanes Chapel Cemetery, and Beauty Hill Cemetery are scattered throughout the landscape, providing essential touchpoints for local researchers. The hydrology of the region is equally prominent, with Sweet Lips Creek flowing in the north and the expansive Cypress Creek drainage system dominating the central and southern sections. Distinctive natural landmarks like Mount Peter and the Major Hill Hollow rise above the many branches and creeks, such as Billies Creek and Tacker Creek, which have shaped the local topography and settlement patterns over generations.
