2020 Map of Sitka

About this map

Sitka is situated in a landscape of narrow hollows and prominent ridges in northern Sharp County, Arkansas. The topography is defined by the elevation changes between Hickory Ridge and the various drainage basins of Hurricane Cr and Mill Cr. Cultural markers such as Hopewell Cem, Schales Cem, and Buchanan Cem provide vital points for family history research and mapping old property lines. In the northern reaches, Spring River cuts through the terrain near Hurricane Bluff, while the southern portion transitions toward the Strawberry River Rd corridor. The naming conventions of the area's hollows, including Bubbling Spring Hollow and Muncie Hollow, suggest a long history of spring-fed agriculture and small-scale land divisions among ridges like Divide Hill and Buck Ridge.
