About this map

Sims sits at the heart of this Montgomery County landscape, positioned north of the winding Ouachita River. This 2014 survey documents the small settlements and family-named landforms that define the area, including Whitetown, Pencil Bluff, and the riverside community at Chasewood Landing. The terrain is characterized by numerous prominent peaks such as Stovall Mtn, Chalybeate Mtn, and Pilot Knob, which rise above the dense forests of the Ouachita National Forest.

Evidence of the region's rural social history is found in the distribution of community centers like Macedonia Cem and Lone Valley Cem. Transportation is a blend of rugged forest routes like the Ouachita Trl and established connectors like State Hwy 88. The map also captures the intricate drainage network feeding the river, including Muddy Creek, Fiddlers Creek, and Rainy Cr, providing a detailed view of the watershed as it appeared in the early 21st century.
