About this map

Hot Springs Village dominates the southern half of this landscape, showcasing the intricate residential road networks that surround its numerous man-made reservoirs. The terrain is defined by the significant elevation of Goosepond Mountain and Howard Mountain, which overlook the winding Middle Fork Saline River. Large bodies of water such as Lake Coronado, Lake Balboa, and Lake Cortez are focal points of the community's mid-century and modern planning, creating a distinct contrast with the forested timberlands to the north.

Northern sections of the map are characterized by a network of logging and access roads, including several Weyerhaeuser routes, indicating the area's ongoing industrial timber use. For local history researchers, the Talley Cemetery located near Brushy Creek provides a tangible link to the area's earlier rural inhabitants. The border between Garland and Saline Counties bisects the quadrangle, cutting through these dense ridges and developed lakefronts.
