2014 Map of Whelen Springs

About this map

Whelen Springs and the surrounding timberlands of the Clark and Nevada county border are defined by the meandering course of the Little Missouri River. This riparian landscape is a network of water and relief, featuring distinctive bottomlands like Deep Slough and Hill Slough alongside the rising elevations of Whetstone Mtn and Rose Hill. The settlement pattern is characterized by small, dispersed communities such as Sycamore, Barringer, and Cummings Springs, each connected by a web of local routes including Nevada 16 RD and Ar 51. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous documented burial sites, including Springhill Cem, Rose Hill Cem, and Sweet Home Cem. The presence of the Pipeline Loop and various forestry access roads like Log RD and Fishing Camp RD underscores the area's ongoing relationship with resource management and traditional river-bottom activities.
