2024 Map of Rover

About this map

Rover and the surrounding Yell County valley floors are the focal point of this modern topographic record, where the Fourche LaFave River meanders between the ridges of Dutch Creek Mountain and Fourche Mountain. The landscape is defined by the Ouachita National Forest, which blankets the high ground while the lowland reaches near Wing and Briggsville support a network of rural roads and established cemeteries. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Tate Family Cem in the northwest and Mount Zion Cem near the western edge. Numerous tributaries, including Stowe Creek, Kirkos Creek, and Atcheson Creek, drain the mountain slopes into the central river basin. The map illustrates the contemporary intersection of timberland management and small-town settlement patterns along Hwy 28.
