2011 Map of Story

About this map

Lake Ouachita dominates the southern landscape of this Montgomery County quadrangle, where the Ouachita River feeds into the reservoir near the settlement of Washita. This area is characterized by numerous family-named peaks and ridges, including Brantley Mountain, Pot Mountain, and Big Round Top Mountain. The community of Story serves as a local hub, featuring the Story Post Office and several rural thoroughfares like Story Creek Rd. Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites noted, such as Reed Cemetery and both the East Washita Cemetery and West Washita Cemetery. Numerous watercourses like Muddy Creek and Story Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the region. The map also identifies smaller locales like Gibbs and the waterfront access at BuddysLanding, providing a detailed view of the rural settlement patterns along the mountain foothills.
