About this map

Lake Ouachita dominates the southern landscape of this Garland County region, where the reservoir's intricate shoreline meets the northern reaches of the Ouachita National Forest. The map documents the rural settlement of Avant, situated near the water’s edge along with Avant Cem. To the north, the community of Mount Tabor sits among higher elevations near Mount Tabor Cem, illustrating the region's scattered family burial grounds including Caldwell Cem and Daley Cem.

The rugged terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Pilot Knob and Blue Ouachita Mtn, and is heavily utilized for modern recreation. The Ouachita National Recreation Trail winds across the northern ridges, while the extensive Possum Kingdom Bike Ride network utilizes various forest roads. This 2020 survey captures the intersection of mid-century water management and contemporary trail development within the forest, marking geographical points like Cedar Fourche Pt along the lake's fingers.
