2020 Map of Hickory

About this map

Potterchitto Creek and its complex network of tributaries, including Turkey Creek and Tarlow Creek, dominate this portion of Newton County. The town of Hickory serves as a primary hub, with local roads like West College Street and Hickory Little Rock Road radiating from its center. To the west, the settlement of Poplar Springs sits at the junction of Poplar Springs Road and Brand Road, while the eastern edge of Newton appears in the northwest. The landscape is marked by a significant density of memorial sites, notably the Mississippi Veterans Memorial Cemetery and several family or community burial grounds like Old Norman Cemetery and Ferguson Cemetery. The prevalence of small water bodies like Wickware Pond and named branches such as Bethel Branch indicates a terrain defined by subtle drainage patterns typical of east-central Mississippi.
