2020 Map of Sims

About this map

Sims sits at the heart of this Montgomery County landscape, where the Ouachita River winds through the southern reaches near Pencil Bluff. This modern topographic survey highlights a region defined by high ridges and narrow creek valleys, with the Ouachita National Forest blanketing much of the northern terrain. The long-distance Ouachita National Recreation Trail traverses the center of the map, crossing over prominent heights like Rock Row and Blowout Mtn. Local history is preserved in small rural clusters and several burial grounds, including the Barber Cem and Macedonia Cem. The presence of labels like Whitetown and Gibbs alongside numerous family-named landmarks such as John Burns Mtn and Stovall Mtn provides a clear view of the area's enduring settlement patterns and rural character. The map traces the winding paths of Fiddlers Cr and Muddy Creek as they flow from the mountains toward the main river valley.
