2017 Map of Fiftysix

About this map

The Ozark National Forest dominates this Arkansas landscape, where the uniquely named settlement of Fiftysix sits atop a plateau dissected by deep drainage systems. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows, such as Gunner Hollow, Leatherwood Hollow, and Petrie Cave Hollow, which funnel water into the N Sylamore Cr and South Sylamore Creek. Human geography is marked by small crossroads and cemeteries that anchor the community's history, including the Gayler Cem near the settlement of Gayler and the Red Doors Cem further south near Cow Mtn. The map reveals a transition toward recreation with the inclusion of the Syllamo Bike Trail-Scrappy Mt and the Mirror Lake Trail near Blanchard Spring, while older transport routes like Roasting Ear Rd follow the natural contours of the winding creek beds.
