The CCC Company 947 Powder Magazine is a historic powder magazine in the eastern part of Ouachita National Forest. It is located in southern Yell County, about 200 yards (180 m) down a slope north of a ridge running parallel to Forest Road 71. The structure is made of stone and concrete, and is 6 feet (1.8 m) square and 5 feet (1.5 m) high, with a flat concrete roof and floor. The entrance is on the southeast side. The building was erected about 1933 by a crew of the Civilian Conservation Corps, and was used to store explosive materials used in the construction of roads and bridges in the area.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
