2020 Map of Hamilton

About this map

Ouachita National Forest dominates this landscape, where the northern reaches of Lake Ouachita meet the steep ridges of the Ouachita Mountains. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Blue Mountain Mtn and the Ouachita Pinnacle, providing a clear view of the complex hydrology that feeds the lake through Big Blakely Cr and Moccasin Cr. Near the settlement of Hamilton, the map reveals a network of forest service roads and recreational infrastructure, including a significant stretch of the Ouachita National Recreation Trail. Local history is anchored at the Rock Springs Cem, while specialized land use is noted along National Guard Rd and Crystal Mine Rd. The mapping of these drainages and forest boundaries illustrates the modern management of this timber and water resource, capturing the area long after the reservoir's creation reshaped the valley floor.
