1962 Map of Avant

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Avant (Buckville PO) settlement and the historic community of Buckville anchor this 1960s survey of the Upper Ouachita River valley. This era reveals a landscape undergoing transformation as the Lake Ouachita reservoir reaches into the river's former drainage basin, creating new shorelines and recreational sites like the Irons Fork Recreational Area and Cedar Fourche Landing. Large tracts of the Ouachita National Forest dominate the central terrain, punctuated by family burial grounds such as Daley Cem and Caldwell Cem. High points like Blue Mountain and Pilot Knob provide a glimpse into the topographic character of the region before further development. The map also records early transport and spiritual hubs, including the Mount Tabor Ch and its neighboring Mount Tabor Cem, illustrating the deep-rooted rural infrastructure that existed alongside the winding course of North Fork Creek.
