About this map

The University of Arkansas campus anchors the southern portion of this landscape, reflecting a period of significant growth for Northwest Arkansas. The region is characterized by a dense network of towns like Springdale, Rogers, and Bentonville, which are connected by the Frisco RR. To the north, the Pea Ridge National Military Park preserves a critical Civil War site, while the eastern edge is defined by the expansive waters of Beaver Lake. The terrain shifts from the wooded ridges of the Ozark National Forest and Weddington Mountain to the agricultural expanses of Moseley Prairie. Water resources are a dominant feature, ranging from the Illinois River to specialized landmarks like a Fish Hatchery (Abandoned) and various municipal sewage disposal sites, illustrating the evolving infrastructure of the late 1970s.
