About this map

Ouachita National Forest dominates this topographic landscape in the early 1960s, a region defined by high points and complex drainage systems. The Lake Winona reservoir is a central feature, collecting waters from the Alum Fork Saline River and various tributaries like Stillhouse Creek and Horseley Branch. Significant topographic landmarks are noted across the terrain, including Flatside Pinnacle, Bread Creek Pinnacle, and Wolf Pinnacle, which serve as distinctive geographic markers for the area.

The map reveals the intersection of Saline, Perry, and Garland counties, showing a remote mountain environment with limited human infrastructure beyond fire roads and a single Tower. Distinctive ridges such as Crystal Mtn, White Oak Mountain, and Barton Mountain frame the river valleys, while the South Fork Saline R snakes across the northern border. This survey provides a precise look at the hydrology and landforms before 1980s updates were added.
