About this map

Mount Ida serves as the focal point of this Montgomery County landscape, situated near the confluence where Martin Cr meets the South Fork Ouachita River. The terrain is defined by the significant rise of Mauldin Mtn, which separates the main river valley from the smaller settlements to the north and west. This survey illustrates a rural Arkansas community deeply rooted in its geography, with numerous family and community burial grounds like Oak Hill Cem, Forbes Cem, and Garrett Cem scattered across the township lines.

The reach of the Ouachita National Forest covers much of the southern and eastern portions of the map, where the winding courses of Big Cedar Cr and Little Cedar Cr flow through the timberland. Transportation is anchored by US Hwy 270, which connects the historic center of Mount Ida to outlying locales such as Mauldin and the curiously named Hog Jaw. Rural routes like Wegner Crystal Ranch Rd and Ly Brand Rd trace the paths of local industry and settlement through the river forks.
