2022 Map of Rose Creek

About this map

The headwaters of Little Hatchie Creek and Rose Creek define this rural McNairy County landscape, where family cemeteries and country roads trace a long-standing agricultural pattern. The area is anchored by the community of Rose Creek, with the outskirts of Bethel Springs and Selmer appearing at the eastern and southeastern margins. For genealogists and local historians, the abundance of small burial grounds provides significant research value, including the Hunters Chapel Cemetery, Moores Schoolhouse Cemetery, and Center Ridge Church Cemetery. The drainage network is dense, featuring numerous tributaries like Hamestring Creek, Abernathy Branch, and Mosses Creek that wind between the low hills. This 2022 survey documents the modern road network, from Nelson Store Road to the winding paths of Hines Gin Loop, illustrating how modern infrastructure follows the traditional terrain.
