1971 Map of Hiwasse

About this map

Hiwasse and Bella Vista anchor this 1970s landscape along the Arkansas-Missouri border, a period when the northern Benton County hill country was transitioning toward a significant recreation-and-retirement destination. The northern reach of the map is defined by the winding course of Little Sugar Creek and the early development surrounding Loch Lomond and Lake Avalon. This growth contrasts with the more traditional rural layout to the south, where established farmsteads and rural social centers like Mt Olive Ch and Keith Ch remain central to the community fabric.
