About this map

The Ouachita National Forest covers much of this mid-1960s landscape, where the ridges of Blue Mountain and Brushy Mountain dominate the horizon. In the northern reaches, the Reichert Cemetery and nearby Reichert Creek mark an area of local settlement and family history, while a Lookout Tower stands watch from a high ridge. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems like Holson Creek and Wildhorse Creek, which flow through valleys used for travel and agriculture.

Lower in the valley, the Holson Valley Church sits along Valley Road, serving as a central landmark for the community. The southern portion of the map is defined by the steep ascent of Winding Stair Mountain and the notable Deadman Gap, illustrating the natural barriers that shaped transportation and development in Le Flore County. Smaller hollows like Sulphur Spring Hollow and Redbank Hollow indicate the many seasonal water sources and named landmarks vital to local navigation.
