2000 Map of Hickory Flat

About this map

Hickory Flat and its surrounding crossroads communities sit at a transition point where the Holly Springs National Forest covers much of the northern landscape. This era of the late twentieth century shows a landscape defined by small rural hubs like Oaklimeter, Cornersville, and Old Myrtle, often centered around country churches and family burial grounds such as Amariah Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and the McKay Cem. The southern reach of the map transitions into the Darden Hills, where the settlement of Darden is flanked by several sandpits, indicating the local extractive economy of the time.
