2013 Map of Pocahontas

About this map

The confluence of the Hatchie River and the Tuscumbia River dominates this portion of Hardeman County, where the low-lying wetlands of the Hatchie Bottoms dictate the settlement patterns. Near the center of the map, Pocahontas serves as a focal point, situated just south of a complex network of waterways including the Muddy Cr Ditch and the meandering Muddy Cr. The terrain is marked by distinctive features such as The Mound, located near the Hatchie River bend, and larger water bodies like Muddy Creek Lake Number Twenty-one and Pocahontas Lake. Rural life is centered around small communities like Essary Springs and Lacy, connected by a web of local routes including Porter Creek Rd and Powell Chapel Rd. The map also details numerous small tributaries like Bearman Cr and Hardcastle Cr, which drain the surrounding timberlands and agricultural fields.
