About this map

The Ouachita National Forest dominates this landscape in western Arkansas, where high ridgelines like Muddy Mountain and Chalybeate Mountain overlook deep creek valleys and the northern reaches of Lake Ouachita. The map details a transition from the wooded heights of the interior forest to the riverine lowlands where the Ouachita River meets the reservoir. Along the valley floor, the small settlements of Story and Washita serve as local hubs, connected by a network of rural roads such as Story Creek Rd and Rowland Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, including West Washita Cem, East Washita Cem, and Rocky Cem. The presence of the Ouachita National Recreation Trl and the Womble Trail North Trl highlights the area's role as a recreation corridor, following the rugged contours of the land through peaks like Big Round Top Mtn and Little Round Top Mtn.
