1951 Map of Rose Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The winding course of Little Hatchie Creek and its many tributaries, such as Wilson Creek and Hendrix Branch, define this pocket of McNairy County just south of the Chester County line. In the early 1950s, the landscape was a patchwork of small communities and rural congregations connected by a developing road network. The map reveals a high density of local landmarks significant to genealogists, including Mt Gilead Ch, Prices Chapel, and Moores Ch. The settlement of Rose Creek sits at a crossroads, surrounded by smaller locales like Kise and Sandy Flat. Educational history is preserved here through the locations of the Red Oak Sch and Sulphur Springs Sch, providing a look at the mid-century infrastructure of this West Tennessee farming region before the era of school consolidation.
