Terrain, Flood and Zoning Notes

Garland County sits in the folded Ouachita Mountains, with long ridges, narrow valleys and rocky, steep slopes that raise costs for roads, septic systems and foundations. Streams and the lake shores carry floodplain and utility or Corps of Engineers shoreline rules in some places. Hot Springs sets its own zoning, while most unincorporated land has little use zoning.
