About this map

Ouachita and Smead anchor this South Arkansas landscape, where the meandering course of the Ouachita River defines the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. The terrain is a network of slow-moving waterways and bottomlands, including Tulip Creek, Brushy Creek, and the swampy reaches of Shell Lake Slough. These drainages feed into local bodies of water like Georgia Lake, Utley Lake, and Shell Lake, illustrating the riverine character of the border between Dallas and Ouachita counties.

Local history is preserved in small landmarks like Brazeale Cem, located near the northern edge of the map. The landscape is crisscrossed by numerous county and forestry roads, such as Dallas 207 and Ouachita Road 36, which connect the scattered settlements to the timberlands and creek basins. The map provides a detailed view of the modern boundaries and water systems including White Oak Creek and Chapel Creek.
