About this map

The Cossatot River meanders through this portion of the Ouachita Mountains in Polk County, shaping a landscape defined by prominent peaks and deep drainage basins. High elevations are marked by Eagle Mountain, Boar Tusk Mountain, and Smoke Rock Mountain, while the river system is fed by numerous tributaries including Brushy Creek, Starkey Creek, and Caney Creek. The area maintains a wilderness character, evidenced by the absence of large settlements and the prevalence of remote mountain landmarks like Fodderstack Mountain and Bald Knob.

Land management and access are illustrated through a network of forest and county roads such as Polk Road 80 and F S 178. Geographically significant features such as Gillham Springs and Dog Hollow provide specific points of interest for those studying the local topography. The map detail reflects the region's natural state in the early 21st century, dominated by the timbered ridges of Bee Mountain and Baker Mountain.
