1960 Map of Parks

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Parks lies at the convergence of the LA Fave River and Daly Creek, serving as a central point in this mid-century survey of the Ouachita National Forest. The landscape is dominated by a series of parallel ridges including Waldron Ridge and Dutch Creek Mountain, which dictate the flow of the Petit Jean River and the Poteau River. The distribution of rural landmarks like Keener Ch and Hawkins Cem illustrates the dispersed settlement patterns typical of the Arkansas river valleys before increased forest management consolidation. Fire observation points, such as the White Oak Lookout Tower and Abbot Lookout Tower, stand on prominent peaks, reflecting the vital role of forestry in the regional economy and land use during this era. Numerous family-named cemeteries and small community churches like Union Hill Ch provide essential data points for tracing genealogical roots in this terrain.
