About this map

The community of Olio serves as a central point in this rugged portion of Scott County, where the landscape is defined by high ridges and narrow creek valleys. To the north, Freedom Mountain and Spanish Oak Ridge separate the drainage of Freedom Creek from the headwaters of Kingdoodle Creek and Sugar Creek. Local history is anchored by the Freedom Creek Cemetery and the Hunt Cemetery near the eastern border, providing important points of interest for genealogical research in this rural upland area.

Transport through the area follows the natural contours, with routes like Falls Branch Rd and S Five Forks Rd navigating the complex terrain of High Point Ridge and Brush Ridge. Notable landmarks like the Bear Knob Lookout Tower on Beurknob Mountain illustrate the forest management history of the region. The map also captures distinctive local place names such as Coffee Pot Hollow, Blue Hole Hollow, and Suck Hollow, which reflect the vernacular geography of these Arkansas highlands.
