2019 Map of Mount Peter

About this map

Bethel Springs and the surrounding rural landscapes of McNairy County are defined by a network of family-named cemeteries and small watercourses. This area, situated along the Tennessee Valley Divide, features numerous small burial grounds such as Malone Cem, Jones Cem, and Lanes Chapel Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research into the families of western Tennessee. The geography is punctuated by the intersection of small communities like Finger and Forty Forks, where the terrain transitions into the Major Hill Hollow. Water systems including Sweet Lips Cr, Billies Cr, and Tar Cr drain the undulating hills, while landmarks like Mt Peter provide focal points for the local topography. The map illustrates a rural continuity, where the road network, including Finger Leapwood Rd, still centers on these long-established settlements and family landmarks.
