About this map

The Red River meanders through this borderland where Arkansas and Louisiana meet, defining a landscape of oxbow lakes and historical river crossings. Small riverbank communities like Spring Bank and Missionary anchor the rural infrastructure, connected by legacy crossings such as Spring Bank Ferry and Missionary Ferry. The shifting course of the river is evident in the presence of Old Channel McKinney Bayou and Old Bed Rotten Lake, indicating how the waterway has historically carved new paths through the alluvial plain.

Industry and local history are marked by the Kiblah Oil and Gas Field in the eastern section and the Blanton Cemetery to the west. This 2011 survey documents a network of county roads, including Arkansas Line Rd and Ida Missionary Rd, that serve a terrain dominated by bayous and branches like Posten Bayou and Nance Branch. The presence of Blue Hole and Palmer Lake further illustrates the complex hydrology of this riverine corridor.
