About this map

Ouachita National Forest dominates this topographic study, revealing the complex drainage systems and elevations that define the borders of Perry, Saline, and Garland counties. The northern reaches are characterized by the winding path of the La Fave River, which passes near the small community of Hollis and the distinct landmark of Goat Bluff. Public access points from the late 1960s are visible at the South Fourche Roadside Park and the Iron Spring Roadside Park further south.

The landscape is punctuated by notable high points such as Forked Mountain, which sits adjacent to the Forked Mountain Cem, providing a specific point of interest for local history researchers. The map records several named waterways including Bread Creek, Trace Creek, and the Middle Fork Saline River, along with numerous "peaks" and "pinnacles" like Smith Pinnacle and White Oak Mountain that showcase the varied terrain of the region during this era.
