About this map

The Petit Jean River meanders across this Logan County landscape, anchoring a valley defined by prominent ridges and timbered slopes. In the northern reaches, the community of Sugar Grove and the settlement at Grayson sit amongst a network of family-named cemeteries and roads that speak to the area's deep-rooted genealogy. Names like Bethel Cem, Logan Cem, and Ephriam Davis Cem are scattered across the terrain, while the sharp turn of Horseshoe Bend marks the river's path through the lowlands.

South of the river, the land rises sharply toward Hole in the Ground Mtn and Dry Creek Mountain, where the boundaries of the Ouachita National Forest begin. This transition from valley agriculture to protected highland is punctuated by the Dry Creek Wilderness, a more secluded tract where Dry Creek and Jack Creek cut through the steep topography. Recreational and timber access is highlighted by the Sugar Creek Hiking Trl and various multi-use paths, tracing the high ridges like Buck Ridge and North Petit Jean Mtn.
