About this map

Hot Springs National Park anchors the southern portion of this mid-1960s survey, showing the complex intersection of the urban Hot Springs corporate boundary and the surrounding ridge-and-valley landscape. The map details a transition from the dense institutional infrastructure of the city—home to the Levi Memorial Hospital, Quachita Hospital, and multiple schools like Langston High Sch—to the more dispersed settlements of Ozark Lithia and Euclid Heights.

The rugged terrain is defined by the steep slopes of Glazypeau Mountain and Blowout Mountain, which funnel drainage into Gulpha Cr and Glazypeau Creek. Local history is preserved in the numerous family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including Robbins Cem, McGill Cem, and Mountain Valley Ch. The presence of the Big Chalybeate Springhouse and White Sulphur Springs highlights the region's long-standing connection to its geothermal and mineral water resources during this era.
