About this map

Lake Catherine anchors this portion of the Ouachita River valley, serving as a focal point for several residential developments that define the local geography. Established communities like Diamondhead, Shorewood Hills, and Jones Mills are situated along the winding shoreline, reflecting the area's growth as a residential and recreational corridor between the larger hub of Hot Springs and the surrounding rural landscapes. The terrain is marked by significant elevations including Bald Mtn and Narrow Mtn, while the historical footprint of the region is preserved at sites like Twin Cem and Price Cem.

Industry and natural resources are evidenced by the presence of a Tailings Pond near Price, contrasted with the intricate network of watercourses such as Beauchamp Cr and Slunger Cr. The map details the transition from high ridgelines at Shinn Mtn down to the bays and coves of the reservoir, including Spencer Bay and Tigre Bay, providing a comprehensive look at the complex interface between the river's managed waters and the upland Ouachita foothills.
