About this map

Boles and the surrounding Scott County landscape are defined by the winding course of the Fourche LaFave River and its numerous tributaries. This Arkansas terrain is shaped by a series of prominent ridges, including Buffalo Mountain, Bruce Mountain, and High Point Mountain, which separate the various creek valleys. Settlement patterns follow the lowlands, with the Boles Post Office serving as a central point for the rural community.

Aviation and local history are uniquely intertwined here, as evidenced by the proximity of the Waldron Municipal Airport to smaller private facilities like the Strickland Landing Strip and Ratliff and Sons Ranch Airport. Genealogists will find interest in localized burial grounds such as Needmore Cemetery and Buffalo Cemetery, while the presence of Buffalo Bridge and several named settlements like Needmore and The Pines illustrates the established transport network of this Ouachita mountain-adjacent region.
