2014 Map of Parks

About this map

The Fourche LaFave River valley anchors this area of Scott County, where the small community of Parks serves as a local hub along E AR 28 Hwy. This landscape is defined by the high, wooded ridges of the Ouachita National Forest, including Salt Log Mtn and the prominent McCafferty Hollow High Peak. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for several rural burying grounds, such as Parks Cem, Hawkins Cem, and Jameson Cem. The settlement pattern follows the drainages and gaps between heights, with names like John Allen Hollow and Schoolhouse Ridge suggesting the historical layout of family homesteads and early social centers. To the west, the hamlet of Keener marks the edge of the more heavily timbered upland terrain.
