About this map

Hot Springs Village defines the southwestern portion of this landscape, showcasing the extensive development of a private master-planned community. The area is characterized by a dense network of residential streets winding around several large man-made reservoirs, including Lake Balboa, Lake Coronado, and Lake Cortez. These waters are controlled by infrastructure such as the Lake Coronado Dam and Pineda Dam, reflecting the mid-to-late 20th-century transition of this terrain from timberland to a recreational and residential hub.

North of the development, the terrain reverts to more natural drainage patterns along the Middle Fork Saline River and its tributaries, including Angling Creek and Little Alum Fork. High points like Goosepond Mountain and Howard Mountain overlook a maze of logging roads, including various numbered Weyerhaeuser routes. Local history is anchored by the Talley Cemetery and the settlement of Blocher, providing evidence of the rural communities that preceded the modern village footprint.
