About this map

The Red River defines the western landscape of this Arkansas-Louisiana borderlands region, carving dramatic oxbows and curves like Dillard Bend and Dickson Bend. This intricate fluvial environment is characterized by a network of sluggish waterways including Maniece Bayou, Field Bayou, and Posten Bayou, which drain the low-lying bottomlands between the river and the higher ground to the east. The settlement of Canfield sits near the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a local hub near Burton Mill and the Union Hill Cemetery.

Tracing the county line between Miller and Lafayette counties, the map reveals a modern transportation network of local routes like Lafayette Road 9 and Homan Road superimposed over older terrain features. From the wetlands of Upper Jew-Jon Lake to the scattered community at Grants, the map provides a clear picture of how human settlement has adapted to the shifting banks and flood-prone geography of the river valley.
