About this map

Battlefield and Spring Hill anchor this rural Hempstead County landscape, where the meandering drainage of Bois D'Arc Creek and its many tributaries define the local geography. The map reveals a dense network of family-name and community burial grounds, including Hervey Cemetery, Foster Cemetery, and Sullivan Cemetery, providing significant evidence of early settlement patterns and genealogical lineage. To the south, the Red River forms a complex boundary characterized by hydrological shifts, notably shown by the Nineteen hundred and forty Cut-off and the Nineteen hundred and sixteen Cut-off.

Central to the region is the expansive Bois D'Arc Lake, which is surrounded by localized fishing access points like Crappie St and Bream St. The presence of the Stevenson School near the southern margin indicates a late-era educational hub for the surrounding farms. This survey captures a moment where the natural river-fed lowlands of Cedar Bayou meet the higher ground of Cedar Ridge, illustrating the ongoing relationship between the Arkansas delta’s water systems and its residential communities.
