About this map

Hot Springs Village and the community of Fountain Lake serve as the primary landmarks in this 2017 survey of the Ouachita foothills near the Garland and Saline county lines. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the S Fork Saline River flows eastward across the northern half of the quadrangle. Further south, the terrain rises into prominent elevations like Grapevine Mtn and Indian Mtn, separated by the various branches of Gulpha Creek.

Local history is preserved in small burial grounds such as Beth Jacob Cem, Medlock Cem, and McClendon Cem, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists. The map also documents the road networks surrounding Morning Star and the small-scale aviation infrastructure at Benoit Airfield. From the South Fork Bridge to the quiet settlement of Whittington, the document captures a transition between residential growth and the densely wooded ridges characteristic of this part of Arkansas.
