About this map

Lake Ouachita dominates the eastern landscape of this Montgomery County region, where the reservoir waters meet the drainages of the Ouachita River and the South Fork Ouachita River. Small settlements and family landing points like Buddys Landing, Sweethome, and Silver are connected by a network of rural routes such as High Shoals Rd and Sweet Home Rd. The area is notably dense with family burial grounds, including the Whittington Cemetery, James Cemetery, and Blish Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of Arkansas.

Industrial and public land use is represented by the Ouachita Seed Orchard and the proximity of the Mount Ida Municipal Airport near the southern edge of the lake. The terrain is defined by prominent rises such as Wolf Mountain and Reed Mountain, which overlook the winding paths of Hovel Creek and Shady Creek. This survey captures the intersection of recreation, rural aviation, and long-standing timber or agricultural heritage.
