About this map

The Ouachita River winds through this landscape, anchoring the historical development of Malvern and Rockport. The industrial character of the late 1970s is evident in the heavy concentration of extractive sites, including extensive Gravel Pits, Quarries, and a substantial Mine complex near Lucinda Lake. These operations, supported by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, reflect a region defined by its geological resources.

Social and civic life is marked by numerous rural landmarks such as Magnet Cove Sch and several country churches like Cooper Ch and Mount Willow Ch. Traces of earlier eras persist through the Old Military Road, while local infrastructure includes a Fish Hatchery and the Radio Tower (KBOK). The proximity of cemeteries like Rockport Cem and Gibson Cem provides critical points for genealogical research in this Hot Spring County locale.
