2024 Map of Hickory

About this map

Bogue Chitto National Wildlife Refuge dominates the eastern portion of this St. Tammany Parish landscape, preserving a complex network of bayous and sloughs where the West Pearl River and Pearl-River-Canal diverge. The map reveals a transition from the dense, saturated environments of Honey Island Swamp and Maple Slough to the upland settlements of Florenville and Hickory. The region's social history is deeply etched into the land through numerous small burial grounds like Charter Oak Cem, Moran Cem, and Welch Cem, many of which are tucked along family-named roads such as Herman Singletary Rd and Edgar Kennedy Rd. A distinct pattern of loops and extensions, including Blueberry Loop and Putt Moran Loop, suggests a long history of rural land division and timber access leading toward the southern reaches of Pearl River.
