1887 Map of Mount Ida #2

USGS Topo · Published 1887

About this map

Fourche La Fave River snakes through the southern portion of this Arkansas landscape, providing a vital waterway for early residents of Scott County. The 1880s topography reveals a remote and ridge-dominated environment where small settlements like Parks and Olio served as primary local hubs. Transportation and homesteading patterns are closely tied to the terrain, with small clusters of development appearing where the narrow valleys of Dutch Creek and Poteau Cr. meet more navigable ground. The map reflects a period before heavy industrialization, highlighting a series of prominent peaks and ridges including White Oak Mountain, Bee Ridge, and Hensley Mt., many of which likely hosted family farms or logging operations. Local points of interest such as Cold Spring and King Doodle Knob provide specific coordinates for genealogists looking to locate ancestral homesites in the Ouachita region.
