2014 Map of Bee Mountain

About this map

Cardiff sits at the heart of this Scott County landscape, a community positioned where the drainage of the E Fork Poteau River meets the northern slopes of Waldron Ridge. This 2014 survey documents a rugged portion of the Ouachita National Forest, defined by a series of prominent east-west ridges including White Oak Mtn, Bee Mountain, and Dutch Creek Mtn. The hydrology of the region is complex, with the Petit Jean River flowing through the northern reaches while the Poteau River and its various forks dominate the central valley. Genealogy researchers will find significant landmarks such as Mt Pleasant Cem near the western boundary and Friendship Cem tucked along the banks of Dutch Cr, offering specific points of interest for tracing family roots in this rural Arkansas terrain.
