1962 Map of Springfield

About this map

Springfield and the surrounding Arkansas hillsides were documented in the early 1960s, revealing a landscape of scattered family farms and tight-knit rural communities. This survey is particularly notable for tracing the Old Treaty Boundary as it cuts across the southern hills, a significant historical line in Conway and Faulkner counties. The map preserves the locations of local landmarks such as the Nemo Vista Sch and St Josephs Cem, alongside smaller settlements like Birdtown and Catholic Point. Topographic details highlight the prominence of Lick Mountain and Buck Ridge, which dominate the local terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of named cemeteries and churches like Bethlehem Ch and Pleasant Springs Ch provides an essential record of the area's mid-century social geography before modern infrastructure shifts occurred.
