2017 Map of Moro Bay

About this map

The Ouachita River winds through the southern landscape of this 2017 survey, defining the border between Bradley, Calhoun, and Union Counties. This riverine environment is characterized by complex hydrology, including the wide bends of Jacks Island Bend and the distinct channel of Romeo Cut. In the center of the sheet, the community of Moro Bay sits near the confluence of Moro Cr, surrounded by a network of backwaters and sloughs like Paw Paw Slough and Pat Slough. For local historians, the map identifies several smaller settlements and landmarks, including Hilo to the north and the cluster of Pigeon Hills and Oak Grove to the south. These areas are anchored by established grounds such as Hilo Cem and Oak Grove Cem, providing valuable touchpoints for tracing family roots along the river's path.
