About this map

Caddo River flows through the heart of this Montgomery County landscape, providing a central artery for settlements like Norman and Black Springs. This contemporary survey reflects the deep rural roots of the region, where family and community heritage is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the Black Springs Cem, Middleton-Crooks Cem, and Tweedle-Vaught Cem. Much of the terrain is defined by the Ouachita National Forest, which encompasses the significant ridges of the Crystal Mountains and the Caddo Mountains.

The landscape is marked by prominent elevations such as Fodderstack Mtn and Wheeler Mtn, with a network of forest roads and local lanes like Pole Thicket Rd and Old Mt Ida Hwy connecting the disparate settlements. For those researching local genealogy, the placement of the Waco School Cem and Ferguson Cem near former centers of rural activity offers clues to the distribution of early Arkansas homesteads in the river valleys.
