About this map

The Fourche LaFave River meanders through this portion of the Ouachita National Forest, where the topography is defined by high ridges and deep hollows. The settlement of Harvey sits near the river, surrounded by a landscape marked by family names and early rural infrastructure. To the west, Cedar Creek provides a secondary focal point for the region's historical geography.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as Harvey Cem, Sanders Cem, and Big Cedar Cem, which anchor the histories of local families to specific points on the terrain. The ridge system is complex, featuring John Sanders Ridge, Hickory Ridge, and Red Buck Ridge. Named peaks like Abbot Mtn and Polecat Mtn rise above the drainage basins of Big Cedar Cr and Sulphur Cr, illustrating the challenging environment faced by early settlers in Scott County.
