About this map

Lake Ouachita and the S Fork Ouachita River dominate this landscape within the Ouachita National Forest, where the water systems shape the settlement patterns of Montgomery County. The county seat of Mount Ida is situated in the western portion of the map, serving as a focal point near the winding Ouachita River. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Wolf Mtn, Reed Mountain, and Gardner Mtn, which overlook a network of forest roads and historic trails like the Womble Trail.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family burial grounds scattered throughout the timberland and river valleys, such as Whittington Hiram Cem, Music Cem, and Stanley Cem. Smaller communities like Hurricane Grove and Silver are documented alongside specialized infrastructure including the Bearce Airport and the fairgrounds. The map captures the interface between the protected national forest and the local homesteads that have persisted along the river forks and mountain ridges.
