2016 Map of Hodgen

About this map

Ouachita National Forest dominates the southern half of this landscape, where steep ridges like Snake Mtn and Post Mtn rise above the valley floor. The map highlights a network of water bodies, including Cedar Lake with its distinct Cedar Lake North Shore and Cedar Lake South Shore recreation areas. Along the northern edge, the Poteau River meanders near the small communities of Reichert, Conser, and Hodgen. This area is marked by its transition from the managed timberlands of the forest to the low-lying river bottomlands where Conser Creek and Merle Br converge. Genealogy researchers can locate several rural burial grounds, including Naylor Cem, Perry Cem, and Hodgen Cem, which are tucked away along county roads like Conser Rd and Granny Bear Rd.
