About this map

Fourche LaFave River winds through this section of Yell County, anchoring a landscape defined by small river settlements and timber access. The village of Bluffton serves as a local hub, featuring the Bluffton Post Office and Bluffton Cemetery. Further upstream, the importance of historical river crossings is evident at Gault Ford and Briggs Ford, while the surrounding terrain rises toward Pea Ridge and Wildcat Hollow.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved in the record, including the Mount Pleasant Cemetery and Waltreak Cemetery in the west, and the Chalybeate Springs Cemetery near the eponymous Chalybeate Springs to the north. A dense network of Forest Service roads, such as FS RD 818 and FS RD 8180, reflects the contemporary management of the Ouachita National Forest lands that dominate the central ridges between the river valley and Dutch Creek.
