2011 Map of Hickory Ridge

About this map

Fisher and Pittinger anchor the western edge of this agricultural landscape in Cross County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses and ditches. The western border is traced by the winding path of Bayou De View and Old Forked Slough, while Brushey Lake and Bale Brown Branch drain the northern reaches. This 2011 survey documents a highly organized rural grid, evidenced by the numerous farm-to-market roads like Taylor Seed Farm Rd and Jimmy Freeze Rd. Local history researchers will find Wyatts Cemetery situated centrally among the fields, providing a genealogical anchor for the surrounding families. The drainage patterns of Overcup Creek, Twomile Creek, and Caney Creek reflect the intensive land management required for the Delta region's farming economy, with several named ditches and sloughs including Gum Slough and Ditch Number 15.
