2022 Map of Big Cedar

About this map

Big Cedar sits at the southern edge of this study, nestled at the confluence of Big Cedar Cr and the Kiamichi River. This 2022 survey documents a landscape dominated by the peaks and valleys of the Ouachita National Forest, where high ridges like Winding Stair Mtn and Tram Ridge define the northern horizon. The area's character is shaped by its extensive network of named pathways, including the Ouachita National Recreation Trl and the Horsethief Springs Trl. These routes follow the natural contours of the land, connecting landmarks such as Horse Thief Spring and Pipe Spring. For local historians and genealogists, the map provides a precise location for the Big Cedar Cem and traces the intricate drainage patterns of Billy Cr and Little Cedar Cr, offering a detailed view of the terrain before modern development reaches these forest heights.
