About this map

Mount Ida serves as the focal point of this Montgomery County landscape, situated near the confluence of the South Fork Ouachita River and local tributaries. The settlement patterns reflect a rural Arkansas character, where the Mount Ida Post Office and Mount Ida Cemetery anchor the community. North of town, the topography rises significantly at Mauldin Mountain, while the small settlement of Mauldin sits nestled along Martin Creek.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the region, including the Old Salyer Cemetery, Garrett Cemetery, and Bates Cemetery. The drainage network is complex, with numerous branches such as Barnes Branch and Clear Branch feeding into the river system. Outdoor recreation is evident at Rocky Shoals Campground along the main Ouachita River, illustrating how the waterway continues to shape both the economy and the leisure of the area near Owley and Mimosa.
