2011 Map of Chic

About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this 2011 survey, defining the border between Tennessee and Arkansas with its complex system of chutes, bars, and revetments. This area is characterized by numerous river-dependent landings, including Hickman Landing, Hales Point Landing, and Huffman Landing, which historically served as vital transport points for the surrounding bottomlands. The landscape is a testament to the river's shifting path, featuring prominent landforms like Island Number Twenty-one, Blue Grass Towhead, and the Needham Cutoff. Inland, the map reveals agricultural patterns serviced by a grid of rural roads such as Levee Rd and Farm Rd. Small settlements like Chic and Hales Point anchor the Tennessee side, while genealogists can locate family burial sites at Buckner Cemetery and Walker Cemetery. The confluence where the Obion River joins the main channel further illustrates the hydrological complexity of the region.
