About this map

The floodplains of the Mississippi River dominate this landscape, where complex water management systems dictate the layout of the land. Significant drainage infrastructure like the Walnut Cr Ditch and the McCraney Diversion Ditch serve to channel water away from the agricultural tracts surrounding the villages of Hull and Kinderhook. The presence of numerous settling basins, such as the Grubb Hollow Branch Settling Basin, highlights the ongoing effort to manage sediment in this riverine environment.

Family history is preserved in several small burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including Journey Cem, Akers Chapel Cem, and Gard Cem. Further south, the landscape softens into a series of oxbow features and wetlands like Trester Lake and Pin Oak Lake, situated near Browns Island. This geography reflects a modern era of engineering superimposed on the natural hydrology of the river bottomlands.
