2012 Map of Hickory

About this map

Hickory serves as the central hub of this eastern Newton County landscape, where the local road network and rail lines converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Potterchitto Cr, Bogue Falema Cr, and Okahatta Cr, which weave through the agricultural and timber lands. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally rich in burial sites, documenting several community-specific resting places such as Old Norman Cem, Ferguson Cem, and Pleasant Ridge Cem. Small rural centers like Poplar Springs and Liberty are connected by namesake routes like Poplar Springs Rd and Liberty Church Rd, reflecting an enduring pattern of settlement. Notable landmarks like the Newton Lookout Tower and Rose Field Airport illustrate the infrastructure of fire observation and regional aviation present in the early 21st century.
