About this map

Cossatot River headwaters dominate this mid-1980s landscape, winding through the sharp ridges and valleys of the Ouachita National Forest. The map captures a moment when conservation and extraction coexisted in Polk County, with the Caney Creek State Wildlife Management Area covering the southern half of the quadrangle while isolated Mines are noted on the slopes of Rocky Mountain.

The settlement pattern is minimal, reflecting the protected status of the land, centered primarily on Gillham Springs and the numerous named peaks like Boar Tusk Mountain and Fodderstack Mountain. The terrain is defined by the Hanna Range and drainage systems like Little Brushy Creek and Sugar Creek, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the western Ouachitas before further modern development.
