This modern survey illustrates the complex hydrology of the region, where the Big Muddy Levee Rd and Hay Glade Ditch manage the waters of the Oakwood Bottoms. The river's serpentine path is marked by numerous named features such as Mill Bend and Cripps Bend, reflecting a long history of navigation and timbering within the Shawnee National Forest.
