About this map

The Ouachita River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape near the settlement of Acorn, anchoring a region defined by its complex drainage network and prominent ridge lines. This modern survey illustrates the rural infrastructure of Polk County, where numerous family-named landmarks and local features like Harvey Ridge and Basin Hollow provide clear geographic context for the local terrain. The map details a transition from the river valley to the higher elevations around Round Top Mountain and Foran Gap.

Water management and local history are marked by the presence of the Irons Fork Creek Watershed Site 1 Dam and the Foran Cemetery, while a dense network of forest roads and county routes, including Dark Forrest Rd and Polk Road 76, connect the scattered homesteads. Tributaries such as Johnson Creek, Pitman Creek, and Chances Creek flow across the quadrangle, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped settlement and movement in this part of Arkansas.
