The CCC Company 749 Powder Magazine was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The CCC Company 749 Powder Magazine is located north of Forest Service Road 4128 and south of Briggsville in Yell County. Company 749 of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) built the structure around 1933 to store explosives (powder or blasting caps) for its work in the rugged forests of the area. The magazine is a small stone and concrete structure originally constructed for use by the CCC working in the Ouachita National Forest.
