2020 Map of Dierks Dam

About this map

Dierks Dam controls the waters of the Saline River in this area of Southwest Arkansas, where the landscape is defined by the transition from river bottomlands to the rising ridges of the Ouachita foothills. The town of Dierks sits at the southern edge of the sheet, serving as a hub for the local timber and agricultural economy. The survey reveals a network of rural settlements and family-named locations such as Burg, Davis Ford, and Euclid. For those tracing local history or genealogy, the map includes several burial sites, including Davis Cem, Oak Hill Cem, and Hickory Grove Cem. Numerous creeks, such as Caney Cr and Brushy Cr, feed into the Saline, illustrating the complex drainage of the Howard and Sevier county line. The presence of Blue Ridge Rd and various forest roads underscores the importance of land management and recreation in this riverine environment.
