Hot Springs, the Arkansas coalfield and the treaties that ceded Indigenous lands feature among these maps and prints of Arkansas. Territorial and county maps, public-land surveys and railway networks come from Colton, Johnson, Cram and Rand McNally, while geological maps concentrate on the coalfield and the south-western chalk region. Charles Royce's land-cession maps record treaties affecting the Quapaw, Osage and Cherokee. The prints show Hot Springs and the state's river scenery, and others follow the Arkansas River upstream into Colorado, to the Royal Gorge and the mountain headwaters. Ruth Taylor White's pictorial map, later highway sheets and Mississippi basin mapping complete the picture.
