2024 Map of Lee Mountain

About this map

Big Piney Creek carves a significant path through this section of the Arkansas interior, defining a landscape where rural settlements and family-named landmarks are concentrated along narrow valley floors and ridgelines. The area is characterized by several distinct topographic elevations, including Lee Mtn, Colony Mtn, and Augsburg Mtn, which separate the various drainage basins of the Illinois Bayou and its tributaries. Local history is anchored in small communities such as Augsburg, Piney, and the curiously named Booger Hollow. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Booger Hollow Cem, Pollard Cem, and Augsburg Cem, providing essential primary source data for genealogical research. The presence of Shinn Mtn and Tucker Mtn near the southern boundary suggests a transition into the more varied terrain bordering the river valleys.
