About this map

Big Fork and Sulphur Springs anchor this portion of the Ouachita Mountains, where the headwaters of the Caddo River and Little Missouri River carve through a landscape of ridges and gaps. The area is defined by its dramatic topography, including the Missouri Mountains and the Cossatot Mountains to the south. Historically significant water sources like Alpine Spring and Abernathy Spring are located near the road networks, while the Little Missouri Falls Recreation Area highlights the natural hydrology of the region.

Genealogists and local historians can locate family burial sites at Huddleston Cemetery in the north and Rock Springs Cemetery near the southern boundary. The map illustrates a network of mountain roads such as Wheat Valley Rd and Albert Pike Rd, connecting remote settlements across high points like Hurricane Knob and Statehouse Mountain. This survey provides a look at the rural intersections and named peaks that have defined the Ouachita National Forest region for generations.
