1986 Map of Nichols Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Ouachita National Forest dominates this mid-1980s terrain, where the topography is defined by the east-west ridges of the Missouri Mountains and the Hanna Range. The small settlement of Shady and the geographic marker of Nichols Mountain provide human orientation in a landscape largely dedicated to conservation. Within the Caney Creek State Wildlife Management Area, the map documents numerous peaks including Tall Peak and Katy Mountain, while lower elevations are carved by a dense network of watercourses such as the Cossatot River and Saline River. A notable Mine label near Sugar Creek suggests the area's history of extraction. The presence of numerous passes, like Wolf Pen Gap and Dicks Gap, indicates how travelers navigated these steep Ouachita ridges before modern infrastructure fully bypassed the more difficult terrain.
