About this map

The Ouachita River defines the geography of this South Arkansas landscape, snaking through the lowlands where Calhoun Co and Ouachita Co meet. The river's winding path is punctuated by numerous named shallows and bends, including Blue Beach Shoals, Cold Bite Shoal, and Newport Shoals. To the south, the terrain transitions toward the historically significant oil-producing region near Smackover, where N Fork Smackover Cr and Smackover Creek drain the bottomlands near Joyce City.

Small communities like Snow Hill and Cross Roads sit atop the gentle rises above the floodplains of Locust Bayou and Blackwater Cr. The map reveals a dense network of county and timber roads, such as Old Camden Rd and Potlatch Rd, which support the local forestry and energy industries. Prominent landmarks like Millers Bluff and oxbow formations such as Half Moon Lake and Spoon Lake offer clear evidence of the river's historical shifts over time.
