About this map

The sprawling southern outskirts of Hot Springs meet the intricate shorelines of Lake Hamilton and Lake Catherine in this mid-1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the Quachita River corridor, managed by infrastructure like Carpenter Dam and a large Fish Hatchery. Urban growth is evident through the expansion of neighborhood schools such as Oaklawn Sch and the development of transportation hubs like Hot Springs Memorial Field.

Social and recreational life is centered around Oaklawn Racetrack and the Hot Springs Country Club, while the rural southern sections around Bismarck retain a more rugged character, rising toward Trap Mountain. For genealogists, the sheet is dense with localized landmarks, including the Jewish Rest Cem, St Calvary Cem, and numerous country churches like Rose of Sharon Ch and New Hope Ch, which served these dispersed Arkansas communities.
