1952 Map of Boyd Hill

About this map

The Red River dominates this mid-century landscape, carving a serpentine path through the lowlands of Lafayette and Miller Counties. The map reveals the river's dynamic nature, documenting the 1927 Cut-off and numerous abandoned channels like Second Old River Lake and Cypress City Lake. These water features, alongside Grassy Lake and Mays Lake, reflect a terrain shaped by periodic flooding and shifting currents, protected in part by an extensive Levee system.
