About this map

Hickory and the surrounding ranchlands of southern Pontotoc County define this landscape during the first decade of the 2000s. The area is characterized by an extensive network of water management features, including the Mill Creek Watershed 1 Dam and Mill Creek Watershed 4 Dam, which control the flow of Mill Creek through the western sections. The rural character of the region is punctuated by family-named landmarks and agricultural infrastructure, such as the Horseshoe Ranch and the Roos Landing Strip.

Modern transportation corridors like the Chickasaw Tpke cut through a terrain etched by winding waterways including the Blue River, Limestone Creek, and Little West Blue Creek. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial sites like the Hickory Cemetery while tracing the transition from the town of Roff south into the more open country of the Chickasaw Nation's historical territory.
