About this map

Siloam Springs sits at a geographic crossroads where the Ozark plateau meets the Oklahoma border, documented here in this 2017 study. The landscape is defined by its water systems, including the Illinois River flowing through the southern portion and numerous reservoirs such as Lake Frances, Siloam Springs Lake, and Lake Flint Creek. These water bodies, along with Sager Cr and Flint Creek, have long anchored the local economy and settlement patterns. The map shows the industrial spine of the region via the Kansas City Southern railroad line, which connects the northern town of Gentry to the urban center of Siloam Springs.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented through numerous burial sites, including Old Baptist Cem, Gunter Cem, Blagg Cem, and Bell Cem. The transition from rural to developed land is visible in the layout of Moseley Prairie and the location of the historic Oak Hill Sch. The dual-state identity is clear as West Siloam Springs extends across the Arkansas and Oklahoma line into Delaware County.
