2024 Map of Moro Bay

About this map

The confluence of Moro Creek and the Ouachita River defines this riverine landscape, where the borders of Bradley, Calhoun, and Union counties meet. This modern survey illustrates the complex hydrology of the bottomlands, characterized by a dense network of secondary waterways like Paw-Paw Slough, Bilbo Lake, and Deep Slough. The terrain rises toward Cane Hill and the Pigeon Hills in the southwest, providing a stark contrast to the flood-prone flats. In the northern reaches, the small settlement of Hilo and its accompanying Hilo Cem provide touchpoints for local family history. The meandering path of the river is punctuated by features such as Romeo Cut and Jacks Island, reflecting the dynamic nature of the regional drainage system. The road network, including Hilo-Marsden Rd and various Bradley County routes, connects these isolated riverside areas to the interior timberlands.
