About this map

The Fourche LaFave River winds through the heart of this landscape, separating the high ridges of the Ouachita National Forest to the north and south. In the center of the sheet, the settlement of Parks serves as a local anchor near the intersection of several rural routes and the river's path. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations, including Dutch Creek Mtn and Huckleberry Mtn, which frame the narrow valley floors where most development is concentrated.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, such as Parks Cem, Hawkins Cem, and Jameson Cem, which are tucked away near established homesteads and old ridges like Schoolhouse Ridge. The map details a complex network of forest and county roads, such as Scottsboro Rd and Cumberland Rd, that provide access to the timbered slopes and creek bottoms like Hazel Cr and Daily Cr.
