2018 Map of Hull

About this map

The village of Hull and the town of Kinderhook serve as the primary anchors for this region in Pike County, where the bottomlands meet the rising bluffs. This landscape is defined by its complex water management systems, notably the Hadley-McCraney Diversion Ditch and the Pigeon Creek Settling Basin, which reflect the long-standing efforts to reclaim and protect these fertile plains from the nearby Mississippi River. Genealogists will find a wealth of data across several burial grounds, including Akers Chapel Cem, Journey Cem, and the House Cem. The southern reach of the map transitions into a wetlands environment characterized by Broad Apron Lake, Pin Oak Lake, and The Sny, a notable waterway following the ancient river channel. This area near Shinn highlights the transition from organized agriculture to the untamed river banks of Browns Island and James Break.
