About this map

Blakely Mountain and the impounded waters of Lake Ouachita dominate this mid-century portrait of the Arkansas landscape. The completion of the Blakely Mountain Dam regulates the Ouachita River as it flows south toward Lake Hamilton, creating a complex shoreline that defined local recreation at Three Sisters Landing and Ouachita State Park. The industrial footprint of Mountain Pine is clearly visible, centered around its extensive processing facilities and supported by the Missouri Pacific rail line.

Local genealogy is well-documented through a network of rural landmarks, including Cunningham Cem, Scott Cem, and Godwin Cem. Small community hubs like Royal and Piney are anchored by numerous country churches such as Cedar Glades Ch and New Salem Ch. The map also captures the transition from timber and river-based economies to a landscape shaped by utility infrastructure, noted by the presence of a Pipeline and multiple Substations.
