2017 Map of Pocahontas

About this map

Pocahontas serves as the regional hub at the confluence where the Black River and Current River meet the Fourche River. This 2017 survey details a landscape defined by complex hydrology, including the wide Reeves Reach and the Old River Slough, reflecting the historical importance of these river systems to Randolph County. The town plan of Pocahontas is clearly articulated, featuring the Highland neighborhood and streets such as Broadway ST and Walnut ST. Outside the city center, the terrain is dotted with small rural communities like Stokes, Brockett, and Engelberg, each anchored by local landmarks such as Brockett Cem and Saint John Cem. To the northwest, the elevation rises toward Attica Hill and Aunt Lucy Hill, while the lowlands are drained by an intricate network of waterways including Frisco Ditch and Mule Ditch. This map provides a clear record of family-named cemeteries and rural roads that are essential for tracing local lineage.
