2020 Map of Fountain Lake

About this map

Fountain Lake sits at the heart of this landscape where the S Fork Saline River and its numerous tributaries like Mill Cr and Cedar Cr carve through the Arkansas highlands. The area is defined by its transition from the northern outskirts of Hot Springs toward more rural settlements like Morning Star and Whittington. Local history is anchored by sites such as Beth Jacob Cem and Medlock Cem, while the presence of Benoit Airfield indicates the integration of aviation into the mid-century valley. The topography is dominated by prominent ridges including Indian Mtn, Grapevine Mtn, and Quarry Mountain, reflecting a terrain that has historically shaped the road networks, such as the Old Stagecoach Trl, which follow the contours of the land rather than a strict grid.
