- Arkansas is a small state with a wide range of geographical variation. It is commonly divided into six geographical regions, consisting of three highland and three lowland regions. Join me today to learn about those three highland regions.
This video discusses the Ozark Plateau, Arkansas River Valley, and the Ouachita Mountains.

Born and raised here for 30 years and never knew half of this lol thank you for the amazing video!
Moved to Arkansas from California. Lived there 27 years, mostly in Prairie Grove, just west of Fayetteville. I LOVE ARKANSAS! I live in Florida now, but I am a converted Razorback. Graduated twice from the U of A. I miss Arkansas a lot, think of it nearly everyday, follow HOGS Basketball and baseball. It's the streams, the mountains, and the people I love best. Thank you for this look at my adopted home state!
As it happens my spouse evolved from a typical country clan of Razorbacks.
I declined their hog heaven under a full moon or go further to despoil Texas.
@louisianafish07 What?!
@louisianafish07 What?!
@GAFish Hey goofball, he was in AR 27 YEARS, and now in FLORIDA. Go fish. He's hardly a Californian at this point. And by the way, California was overrun by everyone else and now we will be joining you as refugees. See you soon.
Thank you so much for a well-planned and intelligently delivered profile of the varied geology/geogrphy of these regions. Really, really good. I'm an old man in the Cumberland Plateau of Eastern Kentucky who has held a longtime fascination and kinship with Arkansas' uplands.
What a great video. Just moved here one year ago. Lived in Florida since 1968. So so much beauty here, most people are friendly. So many fossils and minerals here.
Super job explaining the topography of Arkansas. My daughter & her husband went to John Brown University and even before that - our Oklahoma church’s retreats were often along the Flint Creek in the Siloam Springs area. You have one of the most beautiful states - I think most Arkansas’s want to keep it a secret! Your knowledge and presentation are excellent. Thanks again.
You just taught me more than I already knew about Arkansas, and I have lived in Arkansas over fifty years. Keep it up!
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for these videos. My father was born in a dirt floor cabin in Newton county. I was born and raised in Fayetteville.
Thinking of moving back to Arkansas after a 22 year career in the military and these videos help me choose between Washington, Madison and Newton county.
Arkansas is under rated for outdoor beauty and the downright friendliness of most of the people
@@pjfountaine7755 Sarah Sanderson don't seam to warm and fuzzy to me but your right it is a pretty place
@@MrEdukator1 i don't know her, but i know a beautiful place when I experience it. Peace
Excellent! Arkansas really does have very diverse geography. Love this state!
I knew absolutely nothing about this state prior to watching this video, but now I think I'll be making a trip to explore it in person. Thanks for making this.
This Video Is Excellent!!! Thank You! I didn't expected such a detailed information when I clicked to see it.
it sure is pretty. love forked mtn and mtn nebo specifically for the views. flatside pinnacle is also a place everyone should go to if they visit. just absolutely gorgeous
Very informative. Thank you.
7:03 " .... with elevations up to 26,000 feet in some areas." Think you meant 2,600 feet. You got it on the screen with "*790 meters" (a little under 2,600 feet). Mt. Magazine is the highest point in Arkansas at a little over 2,700 feet. The lodge in the state park dates from the 1930s (CCC) and has spectacular views. If conditions are right, it's neat to watch hang-gliders take off from Mt. Magazine.
Yes, comment are you are correct
A most impressive and concise your of the U.S. Interior Highlands. I am from the Cumberland Plateau section of SE Kentucky and have been fascinated by the highlands of Arkansas ever since I passed through the Ozarks quite by chance returning to KY from New Mexico. I was homesick and, really, felt almost at home there. It was so much like home. Again, excellent job and many thanks!
I learned a lot here! My family is from Yell County. I love that area. I've been in Oklahoma most of my life, but my hope is to return to Yell County one day.
I haven't finish yet and love it! A video about my home state Arkansas
I was born and grew up in mountain home. Now I live in heber springs which is like on the edge of the ozarks and the terrains of the river valley. Beautiful areas for sure.
Thank you for your comprehensive and informed presentation. I've enjoyed watching and listening.
It's Fourche like push, sorry. I grew up on the Fourche La Fave. The Ouachitas were also blown up, some mountain tops rotated 360 degrees before coming to rest. Thank you for this great video!
I'm currently in NWA. Eventually will be in Mt. Ida area. Curious about the 360° movement of mountains. Loving all things nature, mountain rocks and crystals is why I live here now. Please elaborate on the mountain movement if possible. 😊
Wow... that was very detailed. Nice job
Thank you! Yes, these highland areas of Arkansas are full of such uniques nuances. There are more weaker rain shadows in the Ozarks than most would understand. The north east quadrant of Searcy county Arkansas is drier from being lower.and in the shadow of most common rain events coming from southwest to northeast over the taller Boston Mountains over the west and southern part of the county. It shows in their tree varieties well. The precipitation ranges varies about ten or more inches annually SW to NE in that county. Many other nuances
Hello and thank you from the Boston Mountains of Oklahoma.
Best place to grow up in the ozarks. Nice video
Very interesting, thank you.
Outstanding video content! Great job on this.
EXCELLENT.
I expect to obtain my understanding of Arkansas
from resident members of the National Speleological
Society. Yes, I have all their contact information. Who
like me discover and explore where our civilization
has never trod. Below the feet of my reader. Where
waits the abyss, eternal night, and Troglodytes.
Thanks for a great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Enjoyed the rendition of facts
Good stuff, Maynard. Just found myself atop a previous portion of the Oauchitas here in SW Texas, and am supposed to be researching the all that went on here since. However, I found myself cracking jokes with a cricket one night by the hangliding put-in on Magazine and continue to find myself captivated by remote ol Arkansas.
I wonder what you mean by "poorly understood", I think, and know the Ozarks to be a plateau. Somebody said the Ozarks are the oldest, but I can't remember relative to what...
Anyways, this was fun and "educational" as they say, to watch/hear.
I heard somebody say the Garden of Eden might actually be in Arkansas, but I know it's got the best tape deck playlist forest roads in known history.. Especially on the promise of shrooms and a return, soon.
Hava good'n, or as many as you want.
The “good stuff maynard” just made my day 😂 my whole family uses that to this day
Informative..
The Poteau Mountain Ridge running from Heavener Oklahoma to Waldron Arkansas is north of Fourche Mountain. It rises to 2665ft above sea level near Hartford Arkansas and is part of the Ouachita Mountains and National Forest. Is it also considered part of the Fourche range ? I live in Mansfield wich is technically river valley but with plenty of ridges and only about 4 or 5 miles north of the Poteau mountain Ridge. I know people think Poteau Oklahoma when someone says Poteau Mountain but the Poteau mountain Ridge is in both Arkansas and Oklahoma and the mountain right beside the city Poteau ,Oklahoma is Cavanagh Hill the tallest hill in the world at 1999 ft.
Did you not mention the Ouachita River and Lake Ouachita? Or did I miss your mention of it? Oh well, very informative, even for someone who has lived in Arkansas for decades. Thank you.
The Boston mountains do not reach 26,000 feet. I listened several times to be sure I heard it correctly. Meant to be 2600 feet I’m sure
Ozark Highlands Trail... Hike Ref. Tim Ernst books
Love Arkansas.Born and raised. Think you may have misspoke on one fact. Surely, there is no 26,000 ft mtn in the Boston Mtn?
Fine video. Demographically I see the Ozarks as part of the Appalachian Diaspora.
excellent video, but i beg to differ, i doubt that any mountain is 26,000 in the USA, much less the Boston mountains. I suspect you meant to say 26 HUNDRED feet.
Sometimes I believe Contant providers purposely put errors in their videos to generate comments, if I’m wrong feel free to correct me.
Arkansas is a sleeper state. Wow
My présentation i. Ill do it différentes
1st slide all plateau with mountains name
Then go to details
What do u use poke for? It’s a weed here. Nothing will eat it. Including bugs
I did a quick Google search for “poke plant” uses for…
And came up with these statements
Are poke plants edible?
Young leaves and stems when properly cooked are edible and provide a good source of protein, fat and carbohydrate. Regional names for the plant include poke, poke sallet, poke salad, and pokeberry. The fruits are important food for mockingbirds, northern cardinals, and mourning doves.
American Pokeberry - National Forest Service
What part of pokeweed is poisonous?
All parts of the Pokeweed plant are toxic to humans. The highest amounts of poison are found in the roots, leaves, and stems. Small amounts are in the fruit. Cooked berries and leaves (cooked twice in separate water) can technically be eaten.
Pokeweed poisoning Information | Mount Sinai - New York
Does pokeweed have any benefits?
Pokeweed has many purported benefits but little science to back them up. In traditional folk medicine, pokeweed stimulates the bowels and induces vomiting. In homeopathic medicine, pokeweed is used to treat tonsillitis. It is also used to treat psoriasis and eczema and suppress inflammatory immune responses.Apr 20, 2024

Can you use pokeweed for anything?

Pokeweed has long been thought to have medicinal value. At one time it was employed to cure everything from boils to acne. Today, pokeberry is being researched as a possible treatment for cancer.

What did Native Americans use pokeweed for?
The Native Americans made a tea made from the berries and used it for treating arthritis, rheumatism, and dysentery. Some people living in the Ozarks ate one berry a year to prevent or to treat arthritis.

St. Francois is pronounced locally as "fran-sis". The original French settlers came before the French Revolution and had different dialects than modern French (fran-swa). So the local way is less of a mis-pronunciation than a historic relic.
Regions Bank of Arkansas?
About minute 7, the Boston Mountains are up to 26,000ft tall in areas? :-) You must've been thinking of Alaska at the time.
7 min mark. 26,000 feet?
Highland??? The last time drove through Arkansas to Kansas to Colorado to CALIFORNIA, the land was as flat as a pancake.... you want to see Highland, you need to go west of the Rockies......
you drove through the river valley???
26 thousand feet? so high. lol.
The Boston Mountains up to 26 thousand Feet in elevation? I think she missed that by a factor of ten.
DO NOT move to Arkansas. You do NOT want the be there. . Texas has arms open, go there...Or any other state that is westward. If you do move here, you WILL be subject to the unspoken laws.
Although this vid is accurate......... it tells nothing about the people and their attitude about newcomers.
You better know where your going.............
Or Texas is nice!
To anyone reading this. Plz don’t listen to this dude 😂
Weirdo..
We probably just didn't like you
B.S. man
When you hear banjos it’s too late.
You obviously don’t live there
Concerning your comment of elevations. There are exactly ZERO areas in the United States that have an elevation of twenty six THOUSAND feet like you claim for the Boston Mountains. In fact, the highest peaks in the Rockies and the Sierra Mountains are only in the fourteen thousand foot elevation range. Try using the word hundred instead of thousand. Example: Twenty six HUNDRED feet.
Get over yourself already… no need to overstate and shout…
@glennmorrell4907 There was no shouting. Just statements of your mistated "facts." Capitalizing exactly two words in a short paragraph are to clarify so you understand what facts were being addressed. But saying thousands instead of hundreds of feet could be shouting. Sorry you are so sensitive to that.
@@bernices8019 I did not prepare this video nor did I state any facts for it. I enjoyed it and when I heard the ELEVATION MISTAKE I just let it roll off my back.
Boston Mountains at 26,000 feet....? Nope.....
