2024 Map of Camden

About this map

The Ouachita River defines the landscape of this southern Arkansas corridor, winding through a complex network of oxbows and bayous including Newman Slough, Hook Lake, and Palmer Bayou. The settlement pattern centers on Camden and its industrial and residential satellites, such as Cullendale, Fairview, and East Camden. Local heritage is deeply etched into the town plan, from the Ouachita County Courthouse to a high concentration of significant burial grounds, including the Confederate Cem, Jewish Rest Cem, and Greenwood Cem. To the east, Harrell Field and the community of Rendezvous sit near the river's edge, while the southern reach of the map follows the waterway toward Little Buffalo Shoals. The transition from the urban grid of Herbert to the dense creek systems of Two Bayou and Mizzell Creek illustrates the area's development alongside its flood-prone lowlands.
