2014 Map of Rich Mountain

About this map

Rich Mountain rises prominently at the heart of this terrain, where the ridge-and-valley landscape of the Ouachita National Forest meets the upper reaches of the Ouachita River. The summit is marked by the Rich Mountain Lookout Tower, a classic landmark of forest management and fire suppression. Lower down the slopes, the small settlement of Eagleton sits along US Hwy 59 270, while Center Point anchors the southern portion of the sheet. The map reveals a network of high-elevation routes like Skyline Dr and lower valley roads such as Polk Road 720 and Johnson Creek Rd, tracing the paths through Eagle Gap and Saddle Gap. This area serves as a rugged corridor through the mountains, with historical markers like Little Cem and Sexton Cem tucked away near the borders of Black Fork Mtn.
