About this map

University of Arkansas anchors the central landscape of this 1958 survey, showing the campus and surrounding residential growth of Fayetteville before the significant suburban expansions of the late 20th century. The city's cultural and civic identity is marked by the presence of the Veterans Hospital, the Western Methodist Assembly, and several historic burial grounds including the National Cem and Confederate Cem. Transportation and commerce are defined by the St Louis-San Francisco Railroad and the nearby Drake Field.

Beyond the urban core, the terrain rises toward Kessler Mountain and Washington Mountain, while the West Fork White River winds through the southeastern quadrant. The map records several smaller outlying communities such as Farmington, McNair, and Greenland, alongside numerous local landmarks like the Butterfield Trail Sch and the Glad Tidings Tabernacle. The 1982 photorevisions in purple document the encroaching development along the highway corridors and the establishment of new trailer parks and subdivisions.
