About this map

Grand Marais and the surrounding bottomlands of the Ouachita River dominate this 1930s landscape at the Arkansas-Louisiana border. The town of Felsenthal serves as a key point near the confluence of the Ouachita and the Saline River, while Huttig appears as a significant developed center to the southwest. The region's economy is clearly tied to the timber industry, evidenced by the extensive network of the Logging RR branching through the swampy terrain near Lapoile Creek.

Genealogists will find many localized landmarks, from the Smith Chapel and Wallace Sch to family-named ridges like Pea Ridge and Hogpen Ridge. Transportation patterns are anchored by the Missouri Pacific RR, which passes through Dollar Junction. The map also preserves the locations of early landmarks like Godfrey Log and the Indian Mound near Sulphur Springs, reflecting the long history of human activity in these river basins.
