About this map

Highland anchors the southern reaches of this landscape in the Ouachita region of Arkansas, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and winding watercourses. The local topography is punctuated by Buck Knob, Mill Creek Mountain, and Mast Mountain, which separate the various drainages that feed into the larger river systems. Genealogists and local historians can find Lyons Cemetery situated near the headwaters of Mill Creek, a vital landmark for tracing family roots in this rural area.

The network of creeks, including the unusually named Hole in the Ground Creek, Irons Fork, and Rock Creek, illustrates the complex natural drainage patterns of the territory. Transportation is facilitated by a mix of established roads and more remote paths such as Polk Road 70 and Hawthorne Way. This map details the physical geography of the Highland area, showing the relationship between small-scale settlements and the surrounding landmarks like Long Ridge and Grapevine Mountain.
