1960 Map of Parks

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Ouachita National Forest dominates this topographic view of Scott County, where ridges like Bee Mountain and Ouachita Mountain run parallel through the timbered landscape. The settlement of Parks serves as a small hub near the confluence of local streams, while the village of Ballard sits tucked into the northern valley near Mt Pleasant Ch. This era shows a community structured around its small rural institutions, including the Dutch Creek Sch and several country cemeteries such as Hunt Cem and Jameson Cem. The river systems here are the defining geographic features, with the Petit Jean River and La Fave River carving through the heavy terrain. Strategic high points are marked by a network of fire detection infrastructure, including the Bear Knob Lookout Tower, White Oak Lookout Tower, and Abbot Lookout Tower, which provided oversight for the surrounding forest service lands.
