This guidebook provides infomation on 13 outcrops in the eastern Paleozoic rocks of the Ouachita Mountains of central Arkansas that were selected to demonstrate the intensity and styles of deformation in various structural belts, show distinctive lithologies, depositional environments, and to define the biostratigraphic framework. Additionally, some discussion is presented on the formation of late Paleozoic hydrothermal quartz veins, and Cretaceous igneous intrusives.

Also presented are::

• A correlation chart of Paleozoic rocks in the Interior Highlands Region of Arkansas
• A stratigraphic section of rocks exposed in the Ouachita Mountain and Arkansas Valley Provinces of Arkansas
• A cross section comparing the structural interpretation of G. W. Viele and M.T. Roberts in the eastern Ouachita Mountains
