About this map

Hot Springs Village emerges along the southwestern corner of this survey, marking a period of significant residential and recreational development in the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the creation of massive man-made reservoirs including Lake Cortez, Lake Coronado, and Lake Pineda, which contrast with the natural flow of the Middle Fork Saline River and Alum Fork Saline River.

Beyond the newer developments, the map documents the rural history of the area crossing the Garland and Saline County border. Historical landmarks like the Talley Cem and Antioch Ch remain, while a Lookout Tower atop Goosepond Mountain provides a vantage point over the timbered ridges. Industrial and logistical presence is noted via a Pipeline cutting through the northern hills and a Shale Pit near Angling Creek.
