1973 Map of Holly Springs

About this map

Holly Springs sits at the center of this rural Arkansas landscape, spanning the border of Dallas and Ouachita counties. The area is defined by a series of creeks flowing through the timbered terrain, including Tulip Creek, White Oak Creek, and Freeo Creek. Local community life is anchored by traditional landmarks like Holly Grove Church, White Spring Church, and several burial grounds such as Oak Grove Cemetery and Benton Cemetery. A prominent Holly Springs Lookout Tower overlooks the vicinity, while numerous Gravel Pits indicate the local extractive industry of the early 1970s. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of these waterways, with smaller named locales like Holly and Seale Springs linked by a network of country roads including Townsend Road.
