About this map

The Little Red River defines the central geography of this portion of White County, winding through a complex system of sloughs and brakes. On its northern bank sits West Point, a riverfront settlement where the Riverside Cem and Church St reflect the long-standing community structure. The landscape is characterized by its heavy wetland features, including Pole Brake, Crooked Slough, and the expansive Cypress Slough, which together illustrate the historical importance of seasonal flooding and water management in this alluvial region.

Agricultural and rural development is visible through the network of local roads such as Old Railroad Rd, hinting at former transportation corridors. Small settlements and named junctions like Andrews, Pryor, and Enright serve as focal points for the surrounding farmstead landscape. Isolated topographic rises, notably Hogpen Ridge, Bailey Lake Hill, and Lost Hill, stand out against the low-lying terrain, likely serving as critical high ground during the river's frequent rises.
