2011 Map of Snow Hill

About this map

The Smackover Oil and Gas Field dominates the southern landscape of this 2011 survey, illustrating the persistent industrial footprint of the region's energy resources. Settled pockets like Snow Hill and Joyce City are clustered near these production zones, while the northern terrain is defined by the winding course of the Ouachita River. This river corridor is a complex network of navigation hazards and oxbow formations, featuring named points such as Spoon Camp Shoals, Hog Eye Shoal, and English Bee Shoal. The area is heavily intersected by county roads and timber-related routes like Potlatch Rd, providing access to the dense bottomlands around Locust Bayou and Smackover Creek. From the elevation at Millers Bluff to the seasonal camps like Beech Springs Camp, the map captures a balance between the river's natural hydrology and the managed extraction of the southern Arkansas oil belt.
