About this map

Ava sits at the northern edge of this landscape, positioned where the South Fourche LaFave River winds through the hills of Perry County. The terrain is defined by prominent ridges and watersheds, including Brushy Mountain, Locust Mountain, and Bear Creek Mountain, which separate the various creek systems. Historical interest is centered on several family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Hawks Cemetery near the river and Dry Fork Cemetery further south.

Water management and natural topography dictate the local geography, visible in the South Fourche Watershed Site Number One Dam and the network of forest roads like Forest Rd J36 and Forest Rd 36010. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the North Fork Ouachita River corridor, where Northfork Creek Rd follows the valley floor. These drainage patterns, including Bear Creek and Caney Creek, illustrate the complex drainage systems that shaped early settlement and travel in this part of Arkansas.
