2019 Map of Clinton

About this map

Clinton serves as the focal point of this Hickman County landscape, where the local road network radiates toward surrounding rural communities. The map documents a classic agricultural pattern of the Jackson Purchase, with the town of Spring Hill to the north and the sister settlements of New Cypress and Old Cypress to the northeast. This 2019 survey provides critical data for genealogists, as it preserves the locations of numerous historic burial grounds, including the Johnson Graveyard, Shiloh Cem, and Mount Pleasant Cem. Drainage across the region is defined by winding waterways such as Russells Cr and Cane Cr, which eventually feed into the Bayou de Chien in the southern reaches. The presence of the Clinton-Hickman County Airport and the concentrated grid of Clinton contrast with the outlying farmsteads and creek bottoms that have historically defined the county's economy.
