Two names on this list are easy to confuse. The unincorporated community of McNairy shares its
\nname with the county itself but is a separate crossroads community near the Mississippi line.
\nAdamsville’s city limits reach across the county line into a small slice of Hardin County,
\nthough most of its 2,265 residents live on the McNairy County side. Hornsby sits on the McNairy
\nCounty\/Hardeman County line and carries the 38044 Hardeman County ZIP even though its incorporated
\nlimits extend into McNairy. The old scrape list also carried Mount Vinson, Mount Zion, Mud Creek,
\nNeedmore, New Hope, New Lawton, Old Lawton, Pebble Hill, Gravel Hill, Good Hope, Gilchrist, Cypress,
\nChambers, Beauty Hill, Sulphur Springs, Rose Creek, Forty Forks, Hickory Flats and West Shiloh as
\nunincorporated places; none of them could be confirmed against Census Bureau, USPS or Wikipedia
\nrecords in this pass, so they are omitted here rather than republished on an unverified list.<\/p>\n
