1951 Map of Hickory Valley

About this map

Hickory Valley and its surrounding countryside are documented in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by small rural centers and numerous community institutions. The settlement pattern is characterized by its network of schools and churches, such as Morrow Hill Sch, Polk Sch, and Mt Comfort Ch, which served the local population across the Fayette and Hardeman County line. Transport and drainage are closely linked here, with the Illinois Central and Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroads traversing the region near the North Fork Wolf River.
