About this map

The Red River carves a complex path through this corner of Miller County, creating a landscape defined by oxbow lakes and intricate drainage systems. The survey documents the area's rural character, anchored by small settlements such as Homan and Temple. The hydrologic history of the basin is visible in the numerous secondary water bodies left in the river's wake, including Old River Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Cut-off Lake.

Human modification of the wetlands is evident through features like Gillespie Ditch and Homan Ditch, which redirect water across the low-lying plains. Near the southern edge of the map, the small community of Paup sits adjacent to Paup Cem, offering a point of interest for genealogists tracing local family roots. Significant transport routes like E Broad St and Old Post Rd intersect the area, connecting these riverside settlements to the broader region.
