2013 Map of Hickman

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the western edge of this Kentucky-Missouri-Tennessee border region, where the town of Hickman sits perched on the bluffs overlooking the Hickman Bend. This modern survey records a landscape shaped by long-standing river commerce and agriculture, featuring the Old Hickman Ferry Xing and multiple river landings such as Dorena Landing and Parker Landing. Beyond the riverbanks, the terrain is cut by several winding waterways including Bayou de Chien and Little Mud Cr, which drain the lowlands toward the Reelfoot Indian Creek Number Ten Lake in the south. Genealogists will find numerous family-associated markers, from the Hubbard Cem and Barnett Cem to the outlying settlements of Brownsville and Wilson Hill, all connected by a network of rural roads and levees protecting the floodplain.
