About this map

Ouachita National Forest dominates this section of the Arkansas interior, where the landscape transitions between the drainage basins of the South Fourche LaFave River to the north and the N-Fork Ouachita River along the southern boundary. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges, including Dry Fork Mtn and Locust Mtn, which separate the various creek valleys. Human presence is evidenced by several rural cemeteries such as Hawks Cem and Dry Fork Cem, indicating the early family settlements that once dotted these remote hillsides.

Transportation through this wooded territory relies heavily on a network of forest roads and trails, most notably the Bear Creek Equestrian Trail which winds past Joe Point and Deckard Mtn. The watershed is managed through features like the S Fourche Site One Reservoir, while landmarks like Hopper Bluff and Roland Divide provide key orientation points for those navigating the ridge-and-valley system between the Perry and Garland county line.
