2020 Map of Mount Ida

About this map

The Montgomery County Courthouse serves as the focal point for the settlement of Mount Ida, located at the confluence of local routes like Golden Rd and Luzerne St. This 2020 survey documents the complex topography of the Ouachita National Forest, where the Ouachita River and the South Fork Ouachita River wind through the hills. To the northwest, the small settlement of Hog Jaw sits near Mauldin Mtn, illustrating the dispersed residential patterns typical of this portion of the Ouachita Mountains. The map is a significant resource for genealogists, detailing numerous family and community burial sites such as Mullenix Cem, Amerson Cem, and the Old Salyer Cem. These landmarks, along with many named creeks like Big Cedar Creek and Crump Cr, provide a framework for understanding the historical land use and family lineages of central Montgomery County.
