About this map

Ouachita National Forest dominates the landscape of this mid-1960s survey, showing a terrain defined by steep ridges and deep hollows. The valley of Holson Creek serves as a central artery for the small community surrounding the Holson Valley Ch and Holson Valley Cem, which are linked by Valley Road. Settled pockets like Reichert and the edges of Summerfield and Heavener appear along the northern and eastern borders, where the ground levels out near Coleman Ridge. The southern portion of the map is defined by the high elevations of Winding Stair Mountain and Blue Mountain, separated by the distinct passage of Deadman Gap. Numerous named drainages, including Wildhorse Creek and Lillard Creek, illustrate the complex watershed that feeds into the larger valley system during this era of forest management.
