I believe the reason you have not received a response is because the description you gave could be most anywhere, I am sure the two black oaks and the hickory tree have been gone for many years and the stream has probably been dried up and perhaps the hill is now level ground due to construction and building in the area. Your description does not give a valid starting point ( my opinion ) based on today's surveys and etc. This has happened in many cases as trees died and streams dried up.
