About this map

Felsenthal and Huttig anchor this southern Arkansas landscape, situated just above the Louisiana state line in a region defined by the complex waterways of the Ouachita River valley. The map reveals an intricate network of sloughs and brakes, such as Buckhorn Slough and Open Brake, which weave through the lowlands east of Gum Ridge. These wetlands are balanced by industrial and municipal development, including the Arkansas Noname 55 Reservoir and the Forty Acre Millpond adjacent to the Huttig townsite.

Local history is preserved through scattered burial grounds like Old Lapile Cemetery and Harper Springs Cemetery, marking the locations of earlier communities like Old Lapile and Bolding. The geography is further detailed by the confluence of numerous creeks, including South Lapile Creek and Kelly Spring Creek, which feed into the broader river system and illustrate the natural drainage patterns of Union County before they cross the border into Union Parish.
