About this map

Hickory sits at the heart of this landscape, where local roads such as W College St and Church St intersect within the town's grid. The surrounding area in Newton County is defined by its small settlements and rural homesteads, including Poplar Springs to the southwest and the eastern edge of Newton. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain deeply connected to its cemeteries, which serve as vital markers for local genealogy. Notable sites include Old Norman Cem, Ferguson Cem, and Spring Hill Cem, often located near crossroads or high ground.

Waterways like Potterchitto Creek and its various branches, such as Bethel Br, wind through the township lines of T6N and T5N. The map also identifies specific family and landmark roads, such as Fred Norman Rd and Gentry Rd, which help trace the 21st-century distribution of land and access in this part of Mississippi. Larger features like Rose Field and Wickware Pond punctuate the landscape of timber and creek bottoms.
