1986 Map of Nichols Mountain

About this map

Nichols Mountain stands at the center of this 1980s landscape, which is largely defined by the conservation boundaries of the Ouachita National Forest and the Caney Creek State Wildlife Management Area. The settlement of Shady is the primary point of human habitation in the northwest, situated near the headwaters of the Cossatot River. The terrain is characterized by high ridges like Mc Kinley Mountain and the Missouri Mountains, separated by numerous gaps including Wolf Pen Gap and Dicks Gap. Evidence of resource extraction appears near Sugar Creek, where a Mine is documented. This area serves as a critical watershed for several significant river systems, including the Saline River and the Little Missouri River, with drainage provided by local watercourses such as Board Camp Creek and Blaylock Creek.
