2020 Map of Boyd Hill

About this map

The Red River meanders across this landscape, defining the boundaries of Miller, Hempstead, and Lafayette Counties with its deep oxbows and shifting path. This riverine environment is shaped by water, featuring numerous wetlands and secondary channels such as Field Bayou, Kitchen Bayou, and Moccasin Bayou. Along the higher ground to the east, the settlement of Boyd Hill sits above the floodplain, accompanied by the Boyd Hill Cem. The western edge of the quadrangle is marked by Beck, situated near the historic route of Dooley Ferry Rd. To the south, Mayton appears near the confluence of local drainages, while Clear Lake and Grassy Lake occupy the broad bottomlands, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Red River valley.
