About this map

The Ouachita River snakes along the boundary between Calhoun Co and Ouachita County, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and complex water systems. This river corridor is marked by distinctive features such as Haidee Shoals, Slim Island Shoal, and Haynes Bend, indicating the seasonal variability and navigation challenges of the waterway. The surrounding terrain is characterized by a high density of brakes, sloughs, and lakes, including Tom Cook Brake, Big Horseshoe Brake, and Black Lake.

Cultural landmarks are scattered throughout the northern and western sections of the map, providing valuable points of reference for local history. Several family and community burial sites are documented, such as Primm Cem, Moses Chapel Cem, and Pickett Cem. The presence of the Hampton Oil Field in the northeast highlights the region's industrial connection to natural resource extraction, while Boones Mound stands out as a singular terrain feature near the river's edge.
