Jobe Wymore's description of the highpoint area is pretty accurate. I only have a few things to add.

To reach the highpoint from Highway 165 and Highway 212 go east about 0.15 mile on Highway 212 to Pendleton Lane then go west on Pendleton Lane about 0.1 mile to Old Hunter Lane, then north onto Old Hunter Lane. Stay on Old Hunter Lane for about 0.15 mile to the house with address 133 Old Hunter Lane. There is a sign out front that has 'Billy's River Place' on it. I went up to the door and knocked but no one answered, so I walked around the house into the backyard to claim this one, the Arkansas River was in plain view along with the Highway 165 bridge.
