1964 Map of Calico Rock

About this map

The White River winds through the Ozark landscape of northern Arkansas, defining the borders between Izard, Baxter, and Stone counties. The riverfront is marked by dramatic features like City Rock Bluff and the town of Calico Rock, which serves as a focal point for the region's transport and commerce in the mid-1960s. The surrounding terrain is heavily dissected by narrow hollows and numerous springs, such as Roaring Spring and Hidden Spring, supporting small communities like Culp and Creswell. This survey preserves the locations of vital community centers, including Bethel Springs Sch and various family burial grounds like Katy Cem and Old Optimus Cem. The high ridges of Sugarloaf Mountain and Hixon Mountain dominate the skyline, while Sugarloaf Lookout Tower and Green Lookout Tower stand as sentinels over the Ozark National Forest.
