About this map

The Ouachita River winds through this South Arkansas landscape, defining a region where river navigation and the energy industry intersect. This 2011 survey documents a geography of river bends and islands, including Kemp Island and Jacks Island, alongside evidence of the area's subterranean resources. Multiple active extraction sites like the Pigeon Hill Oil Field, Lick Creek Oil Field, and River Bend Oil Field are scattered near the riverbanks, illustrating the economic importance of the petroleum sector in Bradley County.

Small settlements and landing points such as Moro Bay and Careyville Landing serve as local hubs, while Hilo Cemetery near Hilo provides a point of interest for genealogists. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of waterways, from the broad Moro Creek to smaller tributaries like LaBaum Creek and Charivari Creek. Oxbow formations and sloughs, including Bilbo Lake and Green Slough, reveal the shifting course of the river over time.
