About this map

Hickman serves as a critical riverfront hub along the Mississippi River, defined by its unique position where the bluffs meet the bottomlands at Hickman Bend. The town's administrative role is anchored by the Fulton County Courthouse, while its connection to the Missouri side of the river is maintained via the Dorena-Hickman Ferry. The landscape south of the city transitions into the rolling hills of Wilson Hill, a region densely dotted with family and community burial sites such as the Smith Graveyard and Brownsville Cem near the settlement of Brownsville.

Hydrographic features like Bayou de Chien and Obion Creek meander through the northern lowlands, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Reelfoot Lake basin area. Evidence of past river volatility remains visible at Dorena Crevasse and the Old Hickman Ferry Xing, providing genealogists and local historians with a clear view of how shifting waters and transport routes shaped the development of Anna Lynne and surrounding rural districts.
