About this map

Mountain Pine serves as the industrial and residential hub of this 1966 topographic survey, situated just east of the Ouachita River. The landscape is dominated by the massive water control infrastructure of the Blakely Mountain Dam, which contains the expansive waters of Lake Ouachita. To the south, the Ouachita River flows toward Lake Hamilton, where a system of substations and gaging stations manages the region's hydro-electric potential.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named burial grounds and rural congregations throughout the Ouachita National Forest and surrounding valleys. These include Cunningham Cem, Scott Cem, and Avery Cem, alongside religious landmarks like Crystal Hill Ch and New Home Ch. The Missouri Pacific railroad line cuts through the eastern terrain near Glazypeau Creek, while the western portion is marked by the heights of Brady Mountain and the secluded Owl Creek.
