2022 Map of Purdy

About this map

Selmer and Bethel Springs anchor this McNairy County landscape, situated where the terrain begins to slope away from the Tennessee Valley Divide. The area is characterized by a dense network of family and community history, evidenced by numerous burial grounds such as the Poor Farm Cem, Motley Family Cem, and Purdy Wisdom Cem. The central drainage of Cypress Creek Ditch and Turkey Cr define the local topography, which is carved into numerous named hollows like Moss Hollow and Major Hill Hollow. Outside the main settlements, the rural character is maintained through small clusters of development around Falcon and Eastview. Significant regional infrastructure is present, including the McNairy County Justice Center and the Robert Sibley Airport near Dutchman Hollow. This modern survey provides a clear view of how long-established landmarks like Purdy persist alongside contemporary transportation corridors and public facilities.
