About this map

The community of Reichert sits at the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape, where the flat valley lands begin to rise sharply into the ridges of the Ouachita National Forest. The map is dominated by the massive east-west spine of Winding Stair Mtn and Blue Mtn, separated by numerous deep drainages including Sulphur Spring Hollow and Stark Hollow. This area reflects the transition from agricultural valley life to the rugged timberlands of the interior mountains.

Transportation through this difficult terrain is facilitated by Holson Valley Rd, which snakes between the ridges of Clebit Ridge and the southern mountain peaks. Notable landmarks like Goats Bluff and the passage at Deadman Gap indicate the topographic barriers that have shaped movement through Le Flore County for generations. Numerous small water bodies, such as Upper Holson Cr and Bohannon Cr, drain the steep slopes, illustrating the complex hydrography of the Winding Stair range.
