2017 Map of Sitka

About this map

Sitka sits at the center of this landscape in northern Arkansas, where a network of ridge roads and hollows defines the local geography. The area's topography is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and natural features, including the prominent Hurricane Bluff overlooking the Spring River in the northeast corner. This watercourse, along with Upton Cr and Rock Cr, carves deep valleys through the terrain. The map captures a rural community structure centered around small family plots and local landmarks, with Schales Cem, Hopewell Cem, and Buchannan Cem serving as significant points for genealogical research. Distinctive elevations such as Divide Hill, Tater Hill, and Tyner Hill rise above the drainage basins of Mill Cr and Hurricane Cr. The distribution of residential access via roads like Summerfield Creek Rd and Hickory Ridge Rd reflects a long-standing settlement pattern within the townships of the Ozark foothills.
