1985 Map of Buck Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Ouachita National Forest dominates this mid-1980s landscape, where several mountain ridges converge near the borders of Scott, Polk, and Montgomery Counties. The terrain is defined by the steep slopes of Mill Creek Mountain to the north and Fourche Mountain across the center, with the Ouachita Trail winding through the high ground. Local activity is concentrated in the northern valleys near the Mill Creek Recreation Area, which features a campground, bath house, and picnic area. While much of the land remains undeveloped forest, human imprints appear in the form of a shale pit, a prominent radio tower atop Buck Knob, and the small settlement of Highland near the southern border. The intricate hydrology of the region is mapped in detail, including the courses of Irons Fork and Mill Cr, alongside local family or place-named landmarks like Mast Mountain and Brushy Knob.
