2024 Map of Pocahontas

About this map

Pocahontas and its surrounding river bottoms are defined by the winding course of the Black River and the Fourche River. The landscape transitions from the river valleys to the elevated terrain of Attica Hill and Aunt Lucy Hill, where small settlements like Attica and Stokes are situated. The area is heavily marked by its hydrology, featuring numerous sloughs and drainage systems such as Old River Slough, Deep Slough, and the Frisco Ditch. For genealogists and local researchers, the map identifies several burial sites, including Oak Grove Cem, Pettit Cem, and Harris Cem. The civic center of the region is anchored by the Randolph County Courthouse in the heart of town. Transportation history is evidenced by the presence of Old Skaggs Ferry on the Current River, reflecting the era when river crossings were vital for local commerce before modern bridge infrastructure dominated the Randolph County landscape.
