About this map

Mount Ida serves as a primary hub in this portion of the Ouachita National Forest, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Ouachita River and its major tributaries like the S Fork Ouachita River. The topography is marked by significant elevations such as Reed Mountain and Gardner Mtn, which frame the valleys where small settlements and rural homesteads have persisted for generations.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family and community burial grounds, including the Music Cem, Whittington Cem, and the uniquely named Whittington Hiram Cem. These sites, along with small population centers like Sweethome and Hurricane Grove, provide a detailed record of the social geography in Montgomery County during the early 21st century. The northern reaches of the map show the southern finger of Lake Ouachita near Buddys Landing, illustrating the intersection of the region's river systems with modern recreational infrastructure.
