About this map

The Ouachita River winds through this low-lying landscape, defining a complex network of wetlands and backwaters. The terrain is characterized by numerous oxbow formations and sloughs, such as Big Horseshoe Brake, Tom Cook Brake, and Black Lake Slough, which illustrate the river's historical movement across the floodplain. Notable landmarks along the water include Haidee Shoals and Slim Island Shoal, alongside the archaeological footprint of Boones Mound near the riverbank.

Local history is anchored by several rural graveyards, including Primm Cemetery, Moses Chapel Cemetery, and Little Bay Cemetery, which serve as genealogical touchstones for the area. The presence of the Hampton Oil Field toward the east indicates the industrial character of the region, while a dense grid of county roads, including Little Bay Rd and Potlatch Rd, connects these remote industrial sites and family landmarks across the bottomlands of Champagnolle Creek.
