2013 Map of Hickory Valley

About this map

Hickory Valley and the small settlement of Newcastle anchor this West Tennessee landscape, where the drainage systems of the North Fork Wolf River and the Loosahatchie River Canal shape the local geography. The area's aviation and recreation interests are represented by two private airfields, Wings Field Airport and Flying D Airport, along with the Terra Alta Lake reservoir held by the Terra Alta Dam. The map reveals a transition between agricultural land and growing residential corridors, traced through a network of rural roads such as New Castle Rd and Somerville Rd. Smaller waterways like McKinnie Cr, May Cr, and Kings Cr wind through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic complexity of the region. This survey documents the intersection of rural heritage and modern infrastructure in Hardeman County just after the turn of the twenty-first century.
