2014 Map of Mena

About this map

Mena serves as the central hub of this Polk County landscape, situated at the edge of the Ouachita National Forest. The topography is defined by the high ridges of Rich Mountain and Dallas Mountain, which rise sharply above the settlement. The town's connectivity is highlighted by the Mena Intermountain Municipal Airport and its proximity to the Rich Mountain Community College. Outside the city center, rural life is marked by small communities like Corinth and Nunley, each anchored by local landmarks such as the Corinth Cemetery and Nunley Cemetery. Drainage for the region is provided by the Ouachita River and a network of creeks including Prairie Creek and Brier Creek. This map illustrates the intersection of a established mountain town with the sprawling timberlands of the national forest, showing the proximity of early settlements like Dallas to modern infrastructure.
