2020 Map of Oden

About this map

The Ouachita River meanders through the northern reaches of this Montgomery County landscape, anchoring a valley of small settlements and family burial grounds within the Ouachita National Forest. This 2020 survey details the rural character of communities like Oden, Huddleston, and Hog Jaw, where local history is preserved in numerous small plots including the Oden Cem, Gortemiller Cem, and Mount Olive Cem. The terrain rises sharply south of the river toward Hog Jaw Mtn and Gaston Mtn, separated by the Womble Trail S. In the southern half of the quadrangle, the N Fork S Fork Ouachita River and S Fork Ouachita River carve through the forest, connecting remote points like Gaston and the Rock Spring area. The map illustrates a network of forest development roads and local lanes that define the modern accessibility of these interior woodlands.
