About this map

Lake Winona serves as a primary geographic anchor in this section of the Ouachita National Forest, its waters held by a spillway near the water intake and powerhouse facilities. The surrounding terrain is a complex of ridgelines and peaks such as Chinquapin Mountain and Nancy Mountain, drained by the many-branched North Fork Saline River and its tributaries.

Small settlements and community hubs like Reform and Paron appear along the forest's edge, characterized by local landmarks like Hester Chapel and the Buffalo Ch. For family historians, the presence of the Walnut Bottom Cem and Fowler Cem provides specific points of interest for tracing early residents in this part of Saline and Perry counties. The map also highlights fire suppression infrastructure of the era, including the Lookout Tower Reform Point and the Lookout Tower Pinnacle.
