    Indian History in the Lake Ouachita Region

    Indian History in the Lake Ouachita Region Mary Beth Trubitt, Ph.D. (Arkansas Archeological Survey) ake Ouachita was created with the construction of Blakely Mountain Dam by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1953. The lake, designed for flood control, hydroelectric power, recreation, and wildlife man- agement,L covers about 40,000 acres in Garland and Montgomery counties. Before the lake, rural communities such as Buckville, Avant, and Cedar Glades developed in the Ouachita River valley between the 1880s and 1950. There are traces of still older communities beneath the waters of Lake Ouachita, places where Indians lived dur- ing the past 13,500 years. We can learn about this Indian history from oral traditions, from written accounts left by explorers, and from archeology.

The two rock formations seen on this float are the Middle Ordovician aged Blakely Sandstone and Womble Shale (Fig. 3). This sequence of rocks was formed in a deep ocean basin (Fig. 1) that periodically received sediment from the north and east in the form of submarine fans (underwater/submerged deltas) and turbidity currents. A turbidity current is a bottom- flowing current that contains suspended sediment and moves rapidly down a subaqueous slope or submarine canyon.
