1966 Map of Hot Springs North

About this map

Hot Springs National Park anchors the southern portion of this mid-1960s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by thermal waters and steep topography. The core of Hot Springs reveals a dense urban fabric of civic and medical institutions, including the Courthouse, St Joseph Hospital, and Quachita Hospital. The map records significant educational landmarks like Langston High Sch and Douglas Sch, providing essential geographic data for local history. To the north, the terrain transitions into the heavily wooded ridges of Glazypeau Mountain and Blowout Mountain. This area is dotted with small rural communities and springs, such as Ozark Lithia and White Sulphur Springs, which hint at the region's long-standing reputation for mineral waters. Rural life is further documented through numerous family-named burial grounds like Robbins Cem and McGill Cem, and crossroads churches including Walnut Valley Ch.
