2020 Map of Boles

About this map

Boles and the surrounding Scott County landscape are defined by the convergence of several major watercourses and the ridges of the Ouachita National Forest. The Fourche LaFave River winds through the southeastern corner, while Buffalo Cr and Northern Cr drain the central valleys. The map documents several significant local landmarks for researchers, including the Buffalo Bridge and the small settlements of Needmore and The Pines. For those interested in family history, the locations of Needmore Cem, Buffalo Cem, and the Countiss Grave Yard provide clear markers of the area's rural heritage. Steep terrain is ever-present, with High Point Mtn, Ross Mtn, and Bruton Ridge creating natural boundaries for the winding timber roads and farm lanes that connect these isolated communities.
