About this map

Y City sits at a geographic crossroads in the Ouachita Mountains of Polk County, where the Fourche LaFave River and Mill Creek converge. The landscape is defined by the heavy ridges of Fourche Mountain to the north and Irons Fork Mountain to the south, creating a corridor for early settlement and modern transit along routes like Vinewood Dr and Woodhaven Rd.

Genealogical interest is centered around the Chant Cemetery near the riverbanks and the small community at Posey Hollow. The topography reveals a complex network of drainages including Slaty Creek and Sleep Hollow Creek, while the southwestern corner is marked by the Irons Fork Reservoir and the Gap Creek Valley. This survey captures the rural character of the region, where family-named landmarks like Wolf Pinnacle and Goldsberry Mountain rise above the many forks and hollows that once dictated the local pace of life.
