2020 Map of Peanut Mountain

About this map

Peanut Mtn rises at the center of this landscape within the Ouachita National Forest, surrounded by a network of peaks including Ross Mtn, Rowdy Mtn, and Key Mtn. Small rural communities and topographic landmarks define the region, with Blansett situated near the junction of Black Fork and several forest roads. To the south, the settlement of Ritz sits near the Clear Fork, while the area around Nella is marked by the Shiloh Cem and the Fouche La Fave River. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems like Denton Cr and Henry Br, which flow through hollows such as Brushy Hollow and Whitlock Hollow. Local history is anchored by sites like Whisenhunt Cem and the water management features of the Poteau River Site 17 Lake and Poteau River Site 18 Lake, reflecting the intersection of natural topography and federal land management in Scott County.
