2020 Map of De Roche

About this map

De Roche and Caney serve as the primary focal points of this Hot Spring County landscape, situated within a topography defined by significant ridgelines and a network of named drainages. To the north, the elevation rises sharply at Jack Mtn, while the southeastern portion of the map is dominated by the DeLisle Hills. The area is historically grounded by its small family and community burial grounds, including Prince Cem, Estep Cem, and Holstein Cem, which are scattered among the ridges and valley floors. Waterways like Prairie Bayou, Blakely Cr, and Caney Cr dictate the layout of the local road system, which consists largely of named rural routes and ranch roads. The placement of these cemeteries and small settlements suggests a long-standing pattern of upland habitation, where residents utilized the natural corridors between the hills for transport and agriculture.
