About this map

The Little Red River meanders across this landscape, defining the character of the riverine lowlands between West Point and Enright. The topography is dominated by a complex network of wetlands and seasonal water bodies, including Crooked Slough, Cutoff Slough, and Taylor Slough. Small elevations rise abruptly from the bottomlands, such as Hogpen Ridge and Lost Hill, which provided stable ground for early roads and small rural settlements like Andrews and Pryor.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the grid of rural routes, from Mail Route Rd to Hubach Rd No 1, which connect isolated homesteads and family-named landmarks. The presence of the Riverside Cem near the river bend at West Point serves as a focal point for tracing the area's residents. Further south, the landscape shifts toward agricultural and hydrologic features like Milliken Lake and Bailey Lake, illustrating the drainage patterns that have historically shaped White County land use.
