About this map

The Red River meanders across the border of Little River County and Bowie County, defining the boundary between Arkansas and Texas in this 2016 survey. This riverine landscape is characterized by numerous oxbow lakes and abandoned channels, including Old River Lake, Roseborough Lake, and Scott Lake, which illustrate the shifting course of the waterway over time. The surrounding bottomlands are largely rural, marked by the small settlements of Barkman and Wamba and several scattered cemeteries.

Local history is reflected in several family-named water bodies and landmarks, such as Jim Lee Lake, Rush Lake, and Smith Lake. Transportation in the area relies on a network of rural roads, including Richmond Rd and FM 2302, which navigate around the wetlands and creeks like Barkman Creek and Bull Cr. Two burial sites, Saint Lukes Cem and Clear Lake Cem, provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing families along the state line.
