2013 Map of Chic

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the landscape of this 2013 survey, where the shifting waters and secondary channels like the Obion River create a complex network of chutes and islands. The river-driven economy is evident in the numerous landings such as Hickman Landing, Hughes Landing, and Barfield Bar. The Needham Cutoff and Island Number Twenty-one illustrate the dynamic nature of the waterway, while the smaller settlements of Chic, Hales Point, and Hickman occupy the stabilized ground protected by Levee Rd. Further south, the map reveals distinct geographical features like Wardlows Pocket and Tamm Bend, alongside specialized access points including the Mouth of River Styx Landing. These features highlight the area's ongoing relationship with the river system, serving as a modern reference for the region's fluvial geography and local access points.
