2017 Map of Paron

About this map

Ouachita National Forest dominates this landscape in central Arkansas, where the ridges and valleys of the eastern Ouachita Mountains meet the Saline River drainage. The small settlement of Reform and its associated Reform Point sit near the northern shores of Lake Winona, an area defined by a network of timber and forest service roads such as Reform Rd and Weyerhaeuser 24000 Rd. In the northeast, Lake Sylvia and its accompanying Wildlife Loop provide a recreational hub adjacent to the Ouachita National Recreation Trail, which traverses the high ground of Chinquapin Mtn and Wildcat Mtn. The hydrology is particularly complex here, with the Alum Fork Saline River and N Fork Saline River cutting through the terrain. To the east, the community of Paron serves as a local crossroads where Hwy 9 connects the river valleys. This 2017 survey details the contemporary balance of protected forest lands, managed timber tracts, and small rural outposts.
