About this map

The Ouachita River defines the landscape of this region, winding through a complex network of shoals and backwater lakes along the border of Calhoun and Ouachita counties. The river's path is marked by uniquely named navigational points such as Blue Beach Shoals, Cold Bite Shoal, and English Bee Shoal. This riparian environment is further characterized by numerous water bodies like Spoon Lake, Half Moon Lake, and Ben Davis Lake, which sit amidst the low-lying terrain north of the Union County line.

Settlement patterns concentrate in the southern half of the map, where the community of Smackover sits near the confluence of Smackover Cr and N Fork Smackover Cr. To the east, the small clusters of Snow Hill and Joyce City are connected by a web of local routes including Ouachita Road 511 and Old Camden Rd. The map also preserves the locations of smaller crossroads such as Newport and Cross Roads, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of southern Arkansas.
