2014 Map of Pine Ridge

About this map

Pine Ridge and Cherry Hill anchor this portion of the Ouachita National Forest along the upper reaches of the Ouachita River. The landscape is defined by a dense network of mountain creeks including Bolan Cr, Caney Cr, and Big Fork, which carve through the ridges of western Arkansas. This 2014 survey reveals a territory where local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Wilhite Cem and Huddleston Cem. The settlement pattern follows the lower elevations along Ar-88, connecting isolated communities like Opal to the broader region. Small water bodies like Faulkner Lake and Hatfield Lake sit near the riverbanks, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by the complex terrain of the national forest, marked by features like Brushy Creek Mountain and several designated forest roads.
