About this map

Hot Springs Village and the developing outskirts of the Garland County area are captured in this mid-1970s topographic study. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the South Fork Saline River and the prominent ridge of Grapevine Mountain. Local social centers and family histories are anchored by several rural congregations and burial grounds, including Oak Hill Ch, Rockdale Ch, and the Medlock Cem.

Industrial and transit footprints are evident along the southern corridor, where the Missouri Pacific tracks and an Old Railroad Grade snake through the terrain near Morning Star. The presence of a Quarry and a Gravel Pit indicates the active extraction of resources from the surrounding hills. This map reflects a period of rural transition, documenting early residential clusters alongside the established hydrological network of Lockett Creek and Gulpha Creek.
