2011 Map of Ouachita

About this map

The Ouachita River winds through the southwestern corner of this Dallas County landscape, carving out a series of oxbows and wetlands including Georgia Lake, Utley Lake, and Bacon Lake. This riverine environment defines the lower portion of the map, while the northern reaches transition into a network of creek drainages. The small settlement of Ouachita sits at the intersection of several county routes, serving as a quiet focal point in a territory largely defined by timber and agriculture. To the south, Smead marks another point of settlement along the winding path of Tulip Creek. Local history is anchored by the Brazeale Cemetery to the northeast, while a complex system of forestry roads and county routes like Dallas 258 and Ouachita Road 86 provides access to the dense woodland between the larger waterways of Brushy Creek and Chapel Creek.
