About this map

Hickory Ridge and the nearby town of Fisher anchor this survey of the Arkansas Delta, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of agricultural roads and drainage channels. Situated on the border of Poinsett and Cross counties, the area shows a distinct transition from the higher elevations near Grindstone Ridge Road to the wetlands and sloughs that feed the Bayou De View basin.

Genealogists and local historians will find the location of Wyatts Cemetery north of Hickory Ridge, along with smaller named settlements like Pittinger. The map provides a detailed view of the regional hydrology, tracing Old Forked Slough, Gum Slough, and Overcup Creek. The grid of county roads, such as Prairie City Lane and Jimmy Freeze Road, illustrates the intensive land use and rural settlement patterns characteristic of this part of Arkansas during the early 21st century.
