About this map

Battlefield and Spring Hill anchor this rural landscape in Hempstead County, where the topography is defined by the expansive Bois D'Arc Lake and the meandering path of the Red River along the southwestern corner. The map documents a complex system of oxbow lakes and historical river channels, including Nineteen hundred and forty Cut-off-Lake and the Nineteen hundred and sixteen Cut-off, which indicate the volatile nature of the river's course over the last century.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites scattered across the ridges, such as Holly Spring Cem, Sullivan Cem, and Providence Cem. The transition from the elevated Cedar Ridge down to the bottomlands near Lower Red Lake illustrates the varied agricultural and ecological zones of southern Arkansas. The road network, featuring State Hwy 355 and Dooley Ferry Rd, connects these isolated settlements and cemeteries to the broader region.
