About this map

Ouachita National Forest dominates the landscape in this area along the border of Sebastian and Scott Counties. The terrain is defined by prominent ridges like Poteau Mtn and Walker Mtn, which frame the valley carved by the Poteau River. The small community of Cauthron serves as a local hub near the Cauthron Cem and Kirk Cem, reflecting the area's rural character and settled history.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with numerous small tributaries like Twomile Cr, Sixmile Cr, and Posey Cr feeding into the main river system. Notable infrastructure includes State Hwy 28, which follows the river's path, and various forest roads such as Ridge Rd and National Forest Rd that provide access to the timbered heights of Grassy Ridge. The presence of the Poteau River Site-Nine Lake suggests a landscape managed for both water resources and recreation within the national forest system.
