2018 Map of Battiest

About this map

Battiest serves as the primary focal point of this rugged McCurtain County landscape, where the West Fork Glover River and its numerous tributaries like Blackwell Br and Winship Br carve through the terrain. The settlement is anchored by local landmarks such as Battiest Cem, with Parsons Cem located further east, providing significant points of interest for genealogical research. The topography is dominated by prominent heights including Short Mtn, Spring Mtn, and High Peak, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Battiest RD and Main Co ST. The presence of the Wild Horse Trl cutting through the northern ridges suggests a landscape defined by traditional timber or recreational access routes common to this portion of the Ouachita Mountains foothills.
