2024 Map of Boles

About this map

Boles and Needmore anchor this Scott County landscape, where the Fourche LaFave River meanders through the southern valleys of the Ouachita National Forest. The map captures a topography defined by significant elevations, including High Point Mtn, Buffalo Mtn, and Bruton Ridge. A network of rural roads such as Ross Creek Rd and Dipping Vat Rd connects isolated settlements and homesteads to US Highway 71. The northern reach is marked by The Pines near Truman Baker Lake, while the local heritage is preserved in several burial grounds, including Needmore Cem, Buffalo Cem, and Dooley Cem. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the Ouachita foothills, with numerous waterways like Buffalo Creek, Northern Creek, and Ross Creek feeding the larger river system. The settlement pattern remains closely tied to the valleys between these prominent ridges.
