About this map

The Red River carves a deep, serpentine path through the borderlands of Miller and Lafayette counties, defining the character of this West Arkansas landscape. At a strategic crossing stands Garland, where the Red River Bridge connects local transport routes like Us-82 and Ar-134. The town is the primary settlement in an area dominated by oxbow lakes and meandering bayous, remnants of the river's shifting course over time. Notable water bodies including Candler Lake, Keller Lake, and Mays Lake pockmark the floodplain, illustrating the hydraulic history of the region.

Energy extraction is a prominent feature of the local economy, marked by the Spirit Lake Oil and Gas Field and the Cypress Lake Oil and Gas Field. For those researching family history, the map identifies small rural burial sites such as Wright Cem and Mays Cem. The terrain is further defined by extensive drainage networks including Moccasin Bayou and the Field Bayou Ditch, which manage the low-lying wetlands surrounding the river's loops.
