About this map

The Ouachita National Forest dominates this section of western Arkansas, where the topography is defined by the sharp ridges of Horseshoe Mtn, Walker Mtn, and Brushy Mtn. The landscape is a mix of protected woodland and small rural settlements like Beauchamp and Brawley, which are connected by a network of forest roads and county routes. Water management is a significant feature of the terrain, centered on the expansive Lake Hinkle and the Poteau River Watershed Site 12 Reservoir, which control drainage through the local valleys.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family burial sites tucked into the hills, including Vise Cem and Walnut Grove Cem. The area’s river systems are well-documented, with the Black Fork and Jones Cr winding through the lowlands between ridges. This modern survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure at the foot of Grassy Ridge, from the junction at Tintop to the various stream crossings along Denton Cr.
