1963 Map of Paron SW

About this map

Ouachita National Forest blankets this interior Arkansas landscape, where the ridges of the Ouachita Mountains are defined by several prominent peaks and pinnacles. The Alum Fork Saline River is a central waterway, feeding into the eastern expanse of Lake Winona. The topography is marked by significant elevations like Flatside Pinnacle, Crystal Mtn, and White Oak Mountain, while the low-lying Walnut Bottom provides a rare level area along the river's bend. Numerous seasonal and perennial streams, including Stillhouse Creek and Bread Creek, dissect the terrain. This 1963 survey, updated with 1975 aerial photography, reveals a wilderness largely devoid of major settlements, characterized instead by its complex drainage patterns and the isolated heights of Wolf Pinnacle and Angling Pinnacle.
