About this map

The Ouachita National Forest dominates the interior of this Arkansas landscape, where the North Fork Saline River and its numerous tributaries like Bills Branch carve through high ridges. Significant water management infrastructure is evident near Lake Winona, which includes a Water Intake, Powerhouse, and an Aqueduct system running through the Holland district. This network of infrastructure reflects the region's mid-century development for water supply and forest management within the timbered hills.

Small rural communities like Paron and Reform serve as local anchors, characterized by family-named landmarks and country churches. Genealogists can locate Hester Chapel in the southern reaches or Buffalo Ch and Walnut Bottom Ch further north. Notable topographic features like Chinquapin Mountain and Nancy Mountain rise above the river valleys, while local history is preserved at the Fowler Cem and other designated burial sites scattered near the winding roads and trails like Trace.
