2024 Map of Pine Ridge

About this map

The Ouachita River meanders through the heart of this Polk County landscape, which is largely defined by the sprawling Ouachita National Forest. Small settlements like Cherry Hill, Pine Ridge, and Opal anchor the rural road network, while the terrain rises toward Bear Den Mtn in the southeast. This contemporary survey reveals a geography shaped by its water sources, including Bolan Creek, Caney Creek, and the springs that feed into Sulphur Springs Creek. Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved in the landscape, such as Cherry Hill Cem, Edwards Cem, and the Wilhite Cem located near the banks of Hole in the Ground Creek. The map documents a quiet rural life where narrow forest roads and named lanes like Old Waters Hwy connect isolated farms and timberlands.
