Did Onward move?

The last statement in this article "The settlement likely moved to avoid flooding of those waterways." appears to be speculative. The location on the map, Northwest of the junction of Deer Creek and Black Bayou, corresponds to Hill Plantation. Ground elevations at the current location are (via Google Earth) are similar to Hill Plantation. Flood risk would be similar at both locations. A more likely explanation for the current location is the proximity to the railroad. During the early 20th century, the railroad offered passenger service at the Onward depot.
