About this map

Parks serves as the central hub of this Scott County landscape, situated where the Parks Post Office and several rural roads converge. The settlement is anchored near the winding Fourche LaFave River, a primary waterway that defines the local geography alongside its many tributaries like Turkey Creek and Boston Creek. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent elevations, including Huckleberry Mountain, Gilbreath Mountain, and the descriptive Schoolhouse Ridge.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of early community landmarks, such as Hawkins Cemetery, Jameson Cemetery, and Parks Cemetery. These sites, along with family-named features like John Allen Hollow and Bill Hunt Mountain, reflect the deep-rooted personal history of this Ouachita mountain region. The network of county routes, such as Scottsboro Rd and Brushy Creek Rd, provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure connecting these isolated peaks and valleys.
