About this map

Springdale anchors this Northwest Arkansas corridor during a period of significant urban expansion, as evidenced by the extensive purple photorevisions documenting growth since the late 1960s. The commercial heart of the city features the St Louis - San Francisco railroad and landmarks like the Hospital and Armory. Surrounding the urban center are established communities like Elm Springs and Tontitown, while the southern margin captures the northern edge of Fayetteville near Lake Fayetteville.

Regional water management and recreation are defined by Lake Elmdale and the courses of Osage Creek and Brush Creek. For local history and genealogy, the map identifies numerous rural institutions such as the Shady Grove Cem & Ch, Silent Grove Ch, and the St Joseph Cem. The landscape transitions from the developed streets of Bethel Heights to the industrial and agricultural outskirts where Quarries and the Gravel Pit appear alongside the winding Puppy Creek.
