About this map

Huckleberry Mountain and Chickalah Mountain dominate this region of Yell County, where small agricultural and timber-oriented settlements are connected by a network of forest and county roads. The landscape is defined by its numerous family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, such as the Sides Family Cemetery, Utley Cemetery, and Harkey's Valley Cemetery. These sites suggest a deep-rooted local genealogy centered around the valleys of Chickalah Creek and Spring Creek.

Public land management is evident through the extensive Forest Service road system serving the peaks and hollows. Recreation is anchored by Spring Lake, which includes the Spring Lake Dam, a campground, and the Spring Lake Picnic Area. Nearby, Titus Hollow and Jim White Ridge illustrate how the terrain was historically parsed by local families, while the Cedar Creek Ranch Airport provides a modern logistical footprint in the rural southern section of the quadrangle.
