2014 Map of Danville Mountain

About this map

The Petit Jean River meanders across this landscape, creating a complex network of wetlands including Elm Root Slough, Cane Island Slough, and Cape Slough. These waterways define the geography between the northern agricultural flats near Ranger and Alpha and the rising timberlands of the Ouachita National Forest to the south. The city of Danville sits at the western edge of the formidable Danville Mtn, where the terrain transitions sharply from the river valley to higher elevations like Bunker Hill and Peeler Gap. Local transportation and early settlement patterns are visible through rural hubs like Mickles and Lone Pine, while the New Bethel Cem in the southwest provides a specific point of interest for genealogical research near the community of Kingston. The map illustrates the varied topography of Yell County, from the lowland Surrounded Ridges Lake to the heights of Ola Mtn.
