1968 Map of Nimrod

About this map

The Fourche La Fave River snakes through the central landscape of Perry County, defining the settlement patterns of Nimrod and Aplin in the late 1960s. This survey, mapped by the U. S. Forest Service, captures a rural Arkansas corridor where family history is anchored by sites like Nimrod Cem and Deberrie Cem. To the south, the terrain becomes more dramatic as the Ouachita National Forest encompasses landmarks such as Goat Bluff and the rising elevations of Link Mountain and Cedar Mountain. The presence of a Lookout Tower and a Gaging Station reflects the active management of the forest and the river system. Small communities and isolated crossings, including Hollis and Deberrie, are connected by winding roads through Long Hollow, illustrating the enduring relationship between the river valleys and the upland timber of the Ouachita region.
