About this map

The growing northern edge of Bentonville and the early planned recreation of Bella Vista anchor this 1970s topographical portrait of northwest Arkansas. The map details a landscape in transition, where the street grid of the Bentonville corporate boundary meets the surrounding rural terrain of Osage and Mount Vernon. Notable local landmarks like Bates Memorial Hospital and the Thomas Jefferson Sch are clearly marked, alongside the industrial footprint of a Sewage Disposal plant and several gravel pits.

Rural heritage remains visible through a dense network of family and community sites, including Little Flock Cem, Hickman Cem, and Oakes Cem. Distinctive features like the subterranean Wonderland Cave and the Blowing Springs Picnic Area reflect the region's developing leisure identity, while the winding course of Little Sugar Creek and Spanker Creek provide the primary drainage for this corner of Benton County.
