2017 Map of Mountain Springs

About this map

Mountain Springs and El Paso anchor this survey of the Arkansas interior, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Cypress Bayou and its many tributaries like Little Cypress Cr. The settlement pattern follows the drainage and ridges, with family and community identity clearly marked by numerous burial grounds including Grizzard Cem, Massey Cem, and the Sixteenth Section Cem. This area north of Cabot demonstrates a reliance on small-scale aviation, evidenced by several private landing strips such as Cypress Creek Airport, Dogwood Airport, and Four Mile Creek Ranch Airport. The topography is punctuated by local heights such as Ballard Hill, Haymes Hill, and Wilson Hill, which rise above the creek bottoms and gaps like Poland Gap. This map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure and land divisions across the White, Lonoke, and Faulkner county lines as they existed in the late 2010s.
