2011 Map of Fern

About this map

Winfrey, Locke, and Fern anchor this landscape of the Arkansas Ozarks, where early 21st-century topography meets long-established rural routes. The area is defined by sharp elevation changes and deep hollows, notably Rattlesnake Hollow and Devils Canyon, which drain into a network of waterways like Frog Bayou and Hurricane Creek. Local history is preserved in sites such as Pense Cemetery and Locke Cemetery, while industrial and civil footprints are evident at the Lake Sheppard Spring Dam. Notable peaks such as Wakefield Mountain and Government Knob rise above the branching creeks. The map illustrates a complex transit network of forest service roads and local arteries like Old Locke Rd and Winfrey Valley Cutoff, reflecting the localized movement through these steep ridges and secluded valleys.
