About this map

Ouachita National Forest dominates this landscape, where the ridges of the Interior Highlands dictate the flow of water and the path of human travel. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Marble Mountain, Tyler Mountain, and Brushy Mountain, creating a rugged divide between the South Fork Fourche La Fave River drainage to the north and the North Fork Ouachita River to the south. Small settlements like Ava and Roland Divide cling to the northern valleys, while the interior is marked primarily by small family burial grounds like Hawks Cem and Dry Fork Cem. The Presence of a Pipeline cutting across the central hills and various unimproved roads suggests a landscape shaped by resource extraction and forest management rather than dense residential growth.
