About this map

Mena serves as the focal point of this 2017 survey, situated at the base of the peaks that define the western Ouachita National Forest. The town’s grid is anchored by the Kansas City Southern railroad, which runs parallel to the commercial core along streets like Janssen Ave and Port Arthur Ave. The landscape transitions from the urban center of the county seat to the outlying rural settlements of Nunley and Dallas.

Evidence of local history is found in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Pinecrest Cem and Corinth Cem. The geography is shaped by water and elevation, from the Ouachita River flowing in the east to the heights of Rich Mtn and Tower Mtn. Aviation and education are represented by the Mena Intermountain Municipal Airport and Rich Mtn Community Coll, marking the area’s modern development within a rugged natural framework.
