1985 Map of Pine Ridge

About this map

Pine Ridge and Cherry Hill stand as primary settlements along the winding Ouachita River in this mid-1980s provisional study of the Arkansas highlands. The landscape is defined by the extensive reaches of the Ouachita National Forest, where steep terrain is carved by a dense network of waterways including Hole in the Ground Creek, Big Fork, and Sulphur Creek. The map documents the rural infrastructure of the era, showing local roads navigating the topography near Bear Den Mtn and crossing the county line between Polk and Montgomery counties. Genealogists and local historians will find several marked Cem locations scattered across the river valley and forest edges, providing a clear record of family and community sites in this rugged interior region before late-century developments altered the rural character.
