2011 Map of Board Camp

About this map

Board Camp and its surrounding rural communities are situated within a landscape defined by the winding Ouachita River and the numerous small tributaries that feed into it, such as Board Camp Creek and Sulphur Creek. This 2011 survey documents a region where local identity is anchored by small settlements like Ink, Yocana, and Pine Grove. The map reveals a high density of local burying grounds, including Concord Cemetery and Lower Big Fork Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of Polk County. The terrain is structured around several significant elevations, most notably Goldsberry Mountain in the northeast. Small-scale water management is evident through features like Forbis Lake Dam and Dairy Lake Dam, reflecting the agricultural and residential water needs of the area at the turn of the decade.
