About this map

The Big Piney River carves a winding path through this portion of Pulaski County, defining a landscape of steep hollows and ridges. The small settlements of Big Piney and Duke serve as central points for a network of forest roads and county routes, including State Hwy J and Washington Rd. The topography is marked by numerous natural springs and water features, such as Stone Mill Spring and Miller Spring, which highlight the region's hydrogeology.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds, including Ramsey Cemetery, Bradford Cemetery, and Watts Cemetery, often located near prominent landforms like Democrat Ridge. Evidence of forest management and observation is visible at the Piney Lookout Tower. The river's influence on local transit is noted at Ross Bridge and the Crossing Hollow, where the terrain dictates the historical movement through the valley.
