About this map

Signal Hill and Magazine Mtn dominate the eastern half of this landscape, rising within the Ozark National Forest. This terrain is defined by dramatic elevations and significant geological features such as Cameron Bluff, Mossback Ridge, and Huckleberry Flat. The network of trails, including the Mt. Magazine Trail, suggests a region long utilized for its height and vantage points.

Settlement patterns are concentrated along the valley floors, with the small community of Corley to the northeast and Blue Mountain at the southern edge. Local history is anchored by several family-named burial grounds like Ellington Cem, Jenkins Cem, and Rana Cem, which provide vital touchstones for genealogists. Water sources such as Cove Lake, Hope Lake, and numerous springs like Slocum Spring and Ball Spring dot the landscape, illustrating the essential relationship between the topography and the availability of water in this part of Arkansas.
