About this map

Washita and Story sit at the northern edge of Lake Ouachita, where the Ouachita River meets the inundated valley. This modern survey illustrates the rugged interface between the Ouachita National Forest and local settlements, with numerous cemeteries like E Washita Cem and W Washita Cem marking the historical core of the community. The landscape is defined by its prominent ridgelines, including Chalybeate Mtn and Rainy Mtn, and the many watercourses that feed the lake, such as Story Cr and Mill Iron Cr.

A network of forestry and local roads, including the Old Harris Creek Motor Way and Rocky Cemetery Rd, provides access across the mountainous terrain. Notable landmarks such as Chalybeate Spring and the high summit of Muddy Mtn highlight the region's natural geography before it descends into the southern wetlands of the lake. This map is an essential resource for tracing family burial sites and the rural road development of Montgomery County.
