2024 Map of Bluffton

About this map

The Fourche LaFave River valley anchors the southern half of this Yell County landscape, where the settlement of Bluffton and its namesake Bluffton Cem overlook the winding watercourse. To the north, the massive profile of Dutch Creek Mountain dominates the terrain, separating the river valley from the drainage of Dutch Creek. Small community clusters like Waltreak and Chalybeate Springs are connected by a network of rural routes including State Hwy 80 and several forest roads. This area is heavily defined by the boundaries of the Ouachita National Forest, showing a distinct transition from the private agricultural plots near Pleasant Hill to the protected timberlands that cover the ridges. Notable local landmarks like Briggs Memorial Park and the Catlett Farms Airport sit in the eastern flats, while genealogically significant sites like Waltreak Cem provide historical touchpoints for the region's early residents.
