1972 Map of Siloam Springs

About this map

Siloam Springs and West Siloam Springs straddle the state line where the Ozark plateau meets the Cherokee Nation lands of Oklahoma in this early 1970s topographic record. The urban core, centered on the Kansas City Southern railroad, shows significant institutional development including John Brown University and several local schools. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Illinois River to the south and the smaller drainages of Flint Creek and Sager Creek that carve through the surrounding hills.
