Ouachita (River) |
The Ouachita River originates in Polk
County, Arkansas, and flows 510 miles in a southerly direction to Jonesville,
Louisiana, where it converges with the Tensas and Little
Rivers to form the Black River.
Its navigable area from Camden to Jonesville is part of the Ouachita-Black
River Navigation Project, begun in 1902. In 1924 construction was
completed on the system of six locks and dams. In later years outdated
locks were replaced and presently there are four locks and dams on the
waterway, each with lock chambers 84 feet wide and 600 feet in length
having from 3 to 5 tainter gates. The locks and dams have a lift from
12 feet up to 30 feet, which provides a minimum 9-foot deep and 100-foot
wide navigation channel to accommodate barge traffic from the Red River
north to Camden, AR. |
