2017 Map of Aplin

About this map

Aplin and the winding Fourche La Fave River anchor this landscape in Perry County, where the river's serpentine course creates distinct natural landmarks like Lee Shoals and Busby Shoals. The topography is defined by the transition from rural valley settlements into the dense, elevated terrain of the Ouachita National Forest. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Pleasant Grove Cem near Aplin, while the small communities of Ragsdale and Cherry Hill sit further east along the valley floor. The map documents a rugged interior geography, featuring Link Mtn, Cedar Mtn, and Long Mtn rising above the headwaters of the Maumelle River and Big Huston Cr. This area serves as a significant recreational corridor, highlighted by the passage of the Ouachita National Recreation Trail through the southern timberlands.
