2017 Map of Bluffton

About this map

Bluffton and its surrounding hamlets occupy the transition from the Dutch Creek Mtn ridgeline down to the winding Fourche La Fave River. This survey reveals a landscape where life follows the river valleys and mountain gaps, centered around small communities like Chalybeate Springs and Waltreak. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several local burial grounds, including the Chalybeate Springs Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem. The influence of the Ouachita National Forest is clear, with a network of forest roads such as F Road 181 and F Road 44A providing access to the more isolated areas like Wildcat Hollow and Norris Hollow. In the eastern corner, the waters of Nimrod Lake begin to back up into the river system, while the northern edge is defined by the flow of Dutch Cr along State Hwy 80.
