1970 Map of Hickman

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a dynamic border for Hickman at this 1970 revision point, where the river's path is constrained by a prominent Levee and the vast Floodway to the northwest. The town of Hickman serves as a vital rail-and-river hub, anchored by the Illinois Central Railroad and the proximity of Dorena Landing. The landscape south of the river transitions into the hills of Wilson Hill and Beech Grove, marked by scattered family settlements and agricultural infrastructure like the many Gravel Pits and various grain storage bins.
