About this map

The Red River and Little River converge in a complex network of oxbow lakes and meandering channels near the Arkansas-Texas border. This landscape is defined by its shifting waterways, where remnant features like Old River Lake, Young Lake, and Cut-off Lake indicate the historical migration of the riverbed. Low-lying wetlands are crisscrossed by drainage systems such as Gillespie Ditch and Homan Ditch, which support the agricultural character of the surrounding bottomlands.

Small settlements and transport corridors provide a human footprint amid the bayous. The community of Homan sits along a primary road corridor, while the Paup Cem and the settlement of Paup represent long-standing local landmarks near Texarkana. Farther north, the hamlet of Temple is situated near Bois d'arc Bayou, illustrating how early development followed the higher ground between the frequent floodplains of the river valley.
