The town of Hickory sits at the intersection of early Southern transportation corridors in Newton County, where the Illinois Central railroad and Route 80 parallel one another across the landscape. By the mid-1960s, the emergence of Interstate 59 introduced a new high-speed thoroughfare north of the established town center, signaling a shift in the regional transit network. The surrounding rural areas are defined by a high density of community landmarks, including the State Experiment Station and several remote houses of worship like Antioch Ch and Poplar Springs Ch.
