1952 Map of Fouke SE

About this map

The floodplains and terraces of the Red River valley in Miller County dominate this 1952 study, where agriculture and early oil exploration defined the local economy. A complex network of water features, including McKinney Bayou, Old Channel Bayou, and the Fish Lake oxbow, illustrates the shifting hydrology of this riverine landscape. Evidence of the region’s hydraulic engineering is visible through the prominent Levee and Pipe Line infrastructure that cuts across the terrain near the Gaging Station.
