About this map

The town of Blue Mountain sits at the base of a high-elevation Arkansas landscape dominated by the northern slopes of the Mount Magazine area. This 2011 survey details a region defined by its springs and recreational infrastructure, notably the Magazine Mountain Lodge and Magazine Lookout Tower atop Signal Mountain. The hydrology is complex, with numerous family-named springs like Burnett Spring, Brown Spring, and Ball Spring feeding a network of creeks including Revillee Creek and Short Mountain Creek.

Genealogists can locate several remote burial grounds including the Jenkins Cemetery, Rana Cemetery, and Little Hope Cemetery, which are scattered among ridges such as Sheppard Ridge and Donathan Ridge. The map documents the transition from the settled valley floor of Blue Mountain—with its grid of Logan St and Klondike St—to the high-altitude landmarks of Cameron Bluff and Mossback Ridge. Recreational sites like the Cove Lake Picnic Area and Cove Lake Dam highlight the area's development for public use within the surrounding forest terrain.
