2015 Map of Hickory Flat

About this map

Hickory Flat and Myrtle anchor this portrait of the North Mississippi landscape, where the agricultural uplands meet the wooded reaches of the Holly Springs National Forest. The map documents a deeply rooted rural community through its numerous burial grounds, including Old Hickory Flat Cem and the McKay Cem near the northern boundary. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways like Oaklimeter Creek and Mill Cr, which carve through the Darden Hills. In the southern portion, small settlements like Darden and Macedonia sit near the Marshall and Union county lines, while the eastern edge follows the course of Lockes Cr. This survey illustrates the persistent settlement patterns of the region, from the town centers along Old Hwy 78 to the quiet crossroads of Cornersville.
