2017 Map of Hickory Ridge

About this map

Hickory Ridge and Fisher anchor this survey of the Arkansas delta, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways and drainage systems typical of the Mississippi Embayment. The boundary between Poinsett Co and Cross Co bisects the area, following Cross Co Line Rd and Poinsett Co Line Rd. The terrain is marked by low-lying wetland features like Old Forked Slough, Gum Slough, and Bayou De View, which suggest a history of seasonal flooding and sophisticated water management. Small community identifiers such as Pittinger and Wyatts Cem offer specific touchpoints for local historians, while the grid of rural routes like Green Crossing Rd and Grindstone Ridge Rd illustrates the agricultural partition of the land in the early twenty-first century.
