About this map

The Ouachita River meanders along the boundary of Calhoun and Ouachita counties, creating a complex wetland environment of backwaters and brakes. This riverine landscape is defined by features like Haidee Shoals and Slim Island Shoals, surrounded by numerous lakes and sloughs such as Hades Lake, Snow Lake, and Bangs Slough. Away from the river, the higher ground is crisscrossed by a network of county roads, including Little Bay Rd and Potlatch Rd, which connect several small, established burial sites including Primm Cem, Saint Paul Cem, and Pickett Cem. The terrain is characterized by winding watercourses like Champagnolle Creek and Jim Dunn Creek, while Boones Mound stands as a notable landmark in the southern flats. This mapping reflects the persistence of rural heritage through its documented family and community cemeteries located amidst the timberlands and floodplains.
