About this map

The Fourche La Fave River snakes through the southern half of this landscape, carving a valley between the high ridges of Dutch Creek Mtn and Long Mtn. The settlement of Rover sits at a crossroads of River Rd and local routes, while the communities of Wing and Briggsville anchor the western edge. This area is characterized by the vast reaches of the Ouachita National Forest, which covers much of the steep, timbered terrain.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites including Tate Family Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and Hunts Chapel Cem. The topography is defined by numerous drainage systems such as Lucas Creek and Barnhart Cr, which feed into the wider basin of Nimrod Lake. Structural landmarks like Whitely Bridge and the winding course of Wildcat Hollow provide specific points of interest for tracing historical land use and travel patterns in Yell County.
