2017 Map of Hermitage

About this map

The Pomme de Terre River snakes through this landscape, feeding into the northern reaches of Pomme de Terre Lake. This survey captures the rural character of Hickory County, centered on the county seat of Hermitage. The terrain is defined by a series of distinct drainages and hollows, including Montgomery Hollow and Rough Hollow, which have shaped local movement for generations. Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial sites such as Clark Cem, Dorman Cem, and Liberty Cem scattered near the river's path. Settlements like Galmey and Nemo anchor the southern portion of the map, connected by a network of county roads and distinctive paths like White Lightning Trl. The transition from the river's natural meanders at Williams Bend to the broader waters of the lake at Indian Point illustrates the hybrid geography of a region adapted to both historic agriculture and modern water management.
