About this map

Lake Winona and the Alum Fork Saline River dominate this interior section of the Ouachita National Forest, where the landscape is defined by its dramatic topography. The terrain is marked by a series of prominent peaks and pinnacles, including Flatside Pinnacle, Bread Creek Pinnacle, and Angling Pinnacle, which served as distinct natural landmarks for early explorers and surveyors. The drainage patterns of Little Cedar Creek and the North Fork Saline River showcase the intricate watershed of the Saline and Perry County borderlands. This region, largely undeveloped and managed for conservation, features an extensive network of forestry roads and the Ouachita National Recreation Trail. The map documents a rugged timber and watershed management area, highlighting named heights like Grindstone Mountain and White Oak Mountain that remain essential features of the Arkansas highlands.
