2010 Map of Signal Mountain

About this map

Signal Mountain Lookout Tower stands as a focal point in this portion of the Ouachita National Forest region, marking the high ground between complex drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the sharp rise of John Noah Mountain and the prominent East Signal Peak Signal Mountain, which overlook a network of logging and access paths. These routes, including Harry Rowe Trl and the uniquely named Round Mountain Trl Dead End Trl, provide passage through a terrain cut by numerous watercourses. The hydrology of the area is particularly intricate, with Whisky Branch, Houston Creek, and multiple branches of Terrapin Creek carving through the slopes. Local land use is noted by the presence of Brannon Ranch, while the northern reaches are accessed via Holly Creek Rd, illustrating the intersection of remote forest management and private ranching interests in McCurtain County.
