Ouachita orogeny

Ouachita Orogeny geologic map
The Ouachita Mountains lie south of the Arkansas River valley which separates them from the Ozark plateau.

The Ouachita orogeny was a mountain-building event that resulted in the folding and faulting of strata currently exposed in the Ouachita Mountains. The more extensive Ouachita system extends from the current range in Arkansas and Oklahoma southeast to the Black Warrior Basin in Alabama and to the southwest through the Llano, Marathon, and Solitario uplifts in Texas on into Coahuila and Chihuahua in Mexico.[1]
