About this map

Locust Bayou and the surrounding piney lowlands define the border between Ouachita and Calhoun counties in this 2014 survey. The settlement of East Camden occupies the northwestern corner, characterized by a structured street grid including Hussey Rd and Tabor Ave, while the rural character of the region is evident in the sprawling Locust Bayou Oil Field. The landscape is a network of slow-moving water bodies and wetlands, from the oxbow-like Muslin Lake and Walker Lake to the drainage of Two Bayou and Caney Cr.

Genealogists and local historians can locate small family burial sites such as Furr Cem and Plunkett Cem, situated among the winding secondary roads that connect isolated homesteads to the primary state routes. The map illustrates the persistent intersection of the timber and petroleum industries with the natural hydrology of the Coastal Plain, seen in the numerous branches and bayous like Mayner Br that feed into the larger river systems.
