About this map

The Hickory County Courthouse in Hermitage serves as the focal point for this Hickory County survey, where the Pomme de Terre River meanders southward to feed the expansive Pomme de Terre Lake. This modern record of the landscape reveals a transition from the structured street grid of the county seat — including W Dallas St and Polk St — to the recreational and rural character of the surrounding hills. To the south, the settlements of Galmey and Nemo flank the lake's fingers, while prominent terrain features like Indian Point and Lost Hill Island define the shoreline.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, with several family-named burial grounds such as Dorman Cem, Dooley Bend Cem, and Clark Cem dispersed across the drainage basins of Mill Cr and Crane Cr. The map also details numerous county roads that wind through the hollows, including Montgomery Hollow and Rough Hollow, providing a precise look at the area's current infrastructure and land divisions.
