2024 Map of Caddo Gap

About this map

The Caddo River winds through the southwestern corner of this survey, defining the lower valley where the settlement of Caddo Gap is situated. This region is dominated by the ridges of the Ouachita National Forest, including the Crystal Mountains and the Caddo Mountains. The landscape is characterized by narrow valleys and steep mountainsides, with small communities and family burial sites tucked into the level ground near watercourses like Gap Creek and Mazarn Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the map serves as a detailed record of rural life, marking numerous isolated cemeteries such as Bethel Cem, Jones Valley Cem, and Strawn Springs Cem. The presence of several springs, including Collier Spring and Buttermilk Spring, highlights the importance of natural water sources in this upland terrain. This modern survey provides a clear view of the complex topography that has shaped settlement patterns in Montgomery County for generations.
