2020 Map of Pine Ridge

About this map

Pine Ridge and Cherry Hill anchor the northern landscape of this region where the Ouachita National Forest blankets the ridges of the Ouachita Mountains. The Ouachita River winds through the center of the sheet, fed by a complex network of tributaries including Shack Cr, Bolan Cr, and the curiously named Hole in the Ground Cr. Settlement patterns are defined by small communities like Opal and a series of rural burying grounds that provide significant genealogical data, such as Wilhite Cem, Edwards Cem, and Huddleston Cem. In the southeast, the terrain rises toward Bear Den Mtn, while the western portion is marked by Faulkner Lake and Robinson Cr. The map details an extensive system of forest roads and county routes, including Old Waters Hwy and Polk Road 300, which connect these isolated mountain settlements and family landmarks.
