About this map

Lake Hamilton dominates the eastern landscape of this 1966 survey, where the Ouachita River winds through the northern hills of the Ouachita National Forest. The map captures a rural network of small communities such as Hempwallace, Sunshine, and Pleasant Hill, connected by winding roads and an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to the area's earlier industrial transport.

South of the forest boundary, the terrain transitions into the steep slopes of Trap Mountain and Sorrells, while the lower valleys are dotted with local landmarks like Rush Fork Ch and several family cemeteries including Aldrich Cem. The boundary between Garland Co and Hot Spring Co cuts across the southern portion of the map near the Fourche a Loupe Creek drainage, illustrating the jurisdictional lines of the period.
