1962 Map of Avant

About this map

The sprawling waters of Lake Ouachita dominate this mid-century landscape, marking the transition from traditional river valley settlements to a recreation-focused geography. While much of the land is preserved within the Ouachita National Forest, the map records the enduring presence of small communities like Avant and Buckville. For those tracing family histories in this part of Garland County, the survey identifies several small burial grounds, including the Caldwell Cem, Mount Tabor Cem, and Daley Cem.
