2016 Map of Higgins

About this map

Higgins serves as the central hub of this topographical study in the heart of the Ouachita foothills, where rural life is defined by the winding paths of Gaines Creek and its many tributaries. The settlement is positioned along the Higgins Damon Valley Rd, connecting local homesteads to the rugged heights of Number Ten Mtn and Blue Mtn. For those investigating local genealogy, the Mountain Station Cem and the access provided by Gowen Cemetary Rd offer significant points of interest. The landscape is characterized by a complex drainage system, including Buffalo Cr and Pine Cr, which cut through the varied elevations. The map provides a detailed view of the modern road network, such as Mountain Station Rd and Snake Rd, illustrating how the community persists within this transition between the valley floor and the surrounding mountain ridges.
