2017 Map of Georgetown

About this map

The confluence of the White River and the Little Red River dominates this landscape on the border of White and Woodruff counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of oxbow lakes, sloughs, and winding river bends, including the prominent Devils Elbow and Postal Bend. The settlement of Georgetown sits at the southern edge of this hydrological labyrinth, while the smaller community of Nimmo lies to the northwest. Local family and place names are preserved in features like Cypert's Bluff and the Nelson Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted history of this riverine environment. Numerous isolated water bodies such as Big Hurricane Lake and Three Sisters Lake dot the wetlands, illustrating the shifting path of the river over time. The map also records rural infrastructure like Britt Lake Rd and Heathcote Rd, which provide access through the bottomlands.
