About this map

The Fourche La Fave River snakes across the northern portion of this Perry County landscape, defining the topography near settlements like Aplin and Cherry Hill. This area is characterized by a transition from river lowlands to the high ridges of the Ouachita National Forest. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the mountains, where Link Mountain and Cedar Mountain overlook the protected Flatside Wilderness. This wilderness area contains the headwaters of the Maumelle River and Crystal Prong, marking a significant hydrologic divide.

Local history is centered around small rural communities and family landmarks. Genealogists may find interest in the locations of Smyers Cem and Cherry Hill Cem, while the river's winding path reveals features like Lee Shoals and Busby Shoals. The map details an intricate network of forest roads and trails, including the Ouachita National Recreation Trl, providing a clear view of how this part of Arkansas remains deeply integrated with its forested and mountainous environment.
