2020 Map of Blue Mountain Dam

About this map

Blue Mountain Lake dominates the northern landscape of this region, held by the massive Blue Mountain Dam along the Petit Jean River. This 2020 map details the transition from the low-lying reservoir area near Quarry Heights and Waveland to the high, forested ridges of the Ouachita National Forest to the south. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations including Petit Jean Mtn, Flood Mtn, and Dry Creek Mtn, creating a complex network of drainages like Dry Cr and Cedar Cr. For those researching local family history, several burial grounds are identified, including Small Smith Cem, Moores Chapel Cem, and County Line Cem, which sits right on the border of Yell and Logan counties. The road network, including Hog Thief Valley Rd and Quarry Bluff Rd, provides access to both the recreational lakefront and the timbered heights.
