2013 Map of Purdy

About this map

Selmer serves as the central hub of this West Tennessee landscape, where the confluence of several major drainage systems, including the channelized Cypress Creek Ditch and its tributaries like Hendrix Br, shapes the local geography. The settlement pattern reflects a mix of small-town development and rural agricultural stretches, anchored by Bethel Springs to the north and the historic community of Purdy to the northeast. The terrain is defined by numerous named hollows, such as Joplin Hollow and Emmons Hollow, which indicate the dissected nature of the hills surrounding the larger stream valleys. Significant local infrastructure is evident in the inclusion of the Robert Sibley Airport and the McNairy County Farm. This 2013 record captures the modern layout of the county seat, balancing civic spaces with the enduring names of family-landmarked features like Martin Camp Hill and Browder Schoolhouse Hollow.
