About this map

The Ouachita River meanders through this portion of southern Arkansas, anchoring a landscape where the river’s historical path is visible in features like Newman Slough and Estridge Bayou. The city of Camden serves as the focal point, showing a developed street grid that supports the Ouachita County Courthouse and numerous historical burial grounds, including the Greenwood Cem and the Confederate Cem.

South of the city, the settlements of Cullendale, Fairview, and Rendezvous illustrate the residential and industrial expansion away from the river banks. The map also records the hydrological complexity of the area, from the oxbow-influenced Woodard Lake to the navigational challenges posed by Little Buffalo Shoals and Cape Horn Shoals downstream. These features collectively reflect a region defined by its relationship with the river and its growth as a county seat.
