1963 Map of Mountain Springs

About this map

Magness Ridge and Lewisburg Ridge dominate the central landscape of this Arkansas survey, defining a series of gaps and hills that shaped local settlement and transport. The community of Mountain Springs sits at the foot of these elevations, where numerous small creeks like Magness Creek and Fourmile Creek drain the surrounding slopes. The map reveals a high density of rural religious and burial sites, including the Rock Hill Cem Magness Chapel and Sixteenth Section Ch, which served established farming families across the El Paso and Royal districts. To the north, the terrain transitions toward Round Mountain, where distinct markings for Quarries and Mines indicate local extractive industries. The presence of Landing Strip and photorevised updates from the mid-1970s illustrate the early modernizing of these traditional agricultural and timber lands near the county borders.
