About this map

The Red River carves a complex, winding path through this corner of Arkansas, creating a landscape defined by oxbow lakes and shifting waterways. The settlement of Fulton sits at a critical bend in the river, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural territory. This environment is punctuated by numerous residual water bodies, including Old River Lake, Scott Lake, and Kuykendall Lake, which mark former channels of the river's course.

Evidence of long-standing community ties is found at Fulton Cem and Red Hill Cem, while the rugged geography is highlighted by features like Buzzard Bluff and the low-lying Summers Island. To the west, the confluence of the Little River and the Red River forms a natural boundary between Hempstead, Little River, and Miller counties. The map also traces a network of bayous, such as Finn Bayou and Bois d'Arc Bayou, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the bottomlands.
