About this map

Ouachita National Forest dominates this section of the Ouachita Mountains, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and deep creek drainages. The Ouachita National Recreation Trail winds through the center of the sheet, traversing the slopes of Brushy Creek Mountain and Turkey Pen Mtn. This landscape represents a heavily managed forest environment where specialized mountain topography meets the headwaters of the Ouachita River system.

Genealogists and local historians will find several key landmarks preserved on this 2017 survey, including the Brushy Cem and Grenade Cem. The drainage patterns of Big Brushy Cr and Little Brushy Cr dictate the placement of forest roads like Brushy Rd and Little Bushy Rd, following the natural contours of the land. Other notable summits such as Rockhouse Mtn and Salmon Mtn provide clear geographic orientation for the surrounding Montgomery and Scott County border region.
