1971 Map of Hickory

About this map

Hickory and the surrounding piney woods of St. Tammany Parish are defined by the complex hydrology of the West Pearl River and its intricate distributaries. This landscape, surveyed in the late 1960s with revisions through the late 1970s, shows a community deeply tied to the land through extractive industries and river navigation. Local infrastructure is anchored by Lock No 1 and the Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad line, while several sand and gravel pits indicate the area's economic base. Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named landmarks and burial sites, including the Witch Cem, Evans Creek Cem, and Austin Cem. The transition from the higher ground near the Hickory Lookout Tower to the bottomlands of Holmes Island and Pats Hammock illustrates the traditional settlement patterns of the Louisiana-Mississippi borderlands.
