About this map

Fouke and the small settlements of the Red River valley in Miller County are defined by a complex drainage network that includes the Old Channel McKinney Bayou and Moccasin Bayou. This 2020 survey reveals the modern rural landscape, where family history is anchored by several localized burial grounds such as Fouke Cem, Phylaw Cem, and the Rocky Mound Cem.

The landscape transitions from the upland areas near Holly Springs and Rocky Mound down to the wet lowlands surrounding Fish Lake and Hensley Lake. A dense grid of county roads, including Dry Creek Rd and Holly Springs Rd, connects these small communities and isolated farmsteads. The mapping of McKinney Bayou illustrates the hydrological shifts common in this part of Arkansas, where old channels and current waterways dictate the movement of roads and property boundaries.
