2017 Map of Red Bluff

About this map

Little River serpentines through this 2017 landscape, defining the jagged border between Hempstead and Little River counties. The area is dominated by the sprawling reaches of Millwood Lake and a complex network of wetlands including Bee Bayou, Cypress Bayou, and Grassy Lake. On the higher ground of the eastern bank, the settlement of Saratoga sits near the distinctive Devils Backbone ridge, while smaller historical points like Red Bluff and Orton are situated along the river's winding southern path. The presence of Saratoga Cem, Hominy Cem, and Spring Hill Cem provides specific points of interest for genealogical research. A network of rural routes, including the Old Military Rd, connects these communities across the bottomlands, tracing a long history of transit through this riverine environment.
