About this map

Rich Mountain dominates this topographical study of Polk County, where the peak's heights accommodate the Rich Mountain Lookout Tower and the surrounding Rich Mountain Tower Recreation Area. The landscape is defined by its prominent ridgelines and the gaps that permit passage through the high country, including Eagle Gap and Saddle Gap. Below these heights, the Ouachita River flows through the valley near the settlement of Eagleton, marking a corridor of habitation and transport between the mountain ranges.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by small sites such as Little Cemetery and Sexton Cemetery, which sit alongside established drainage patterns like Big Creek and Mill Creek. The southern portion of the quadrangle reaches toward Center Point, illustrating how forestry roads and mountain terrain dictate the layout of this western Arkansas region. The map preserves the placement of isolated summits like Black Fork Mountain and Pilot Mountain, which stand as landmarks for navigating the dense woodland and river forks.
