2014 Map of Fulton

About this map

Fulton stands at a significant river bend where the Little River joins the Red River, a location historically defined by its strategic position at the intersection of water and land travel. The complex hydrology of the river bottomlands is evident in the numerous oxbows and backwaters such as Old River Lake, Scott Lake, and First Old River Lake, which trace the shifting path of the river over decades. Beyond the river banks, the landscape includes small settlements like Sprudel and Clipper, alongside local burial sites including Fulton Cem and Red Hill Cem. The terrain is marked by significant natural features like Buzzard Bluff and Summers Island, while the flow of Bois d'Arc Bayou and Finn Bayou further defines the low-lying drainage patterns of Hempstead and Miller counties.
