2014 Map of Silver Ridge

About this map

The Saline River snakes through the center of this landscape, forming the winding boundary between Sevier and Howard Counties. This corridor is defined by its numerous river crossings and small community centers, including Milford and the elevated area of Steele Hill. Cultural and family history is anchored by a significant concentration of burial sites, such as Kingree Chapel Cem, Hickory Grove Cem, and Wrights Chapel Cem, which often coincide with early church locations. The river's historical importance as a transit and resource point is evident at named crossings like Murphy Ford and Saltworks Ford. Low-lying creeks including Prairie Cr, Brushy Cr, and Starch Cr feed into the Saline, while a network of rural roads like Silver Ridge Rd and Longview Rd connects the scattered homesteads and timberlands of the southwest Arkansas interior.
