Continua a leggereThe original title, “Fayetteville,” is spare and precise, in the manner of the United States Geological Survey’s great topographic series. Surveyed in 1958 and published with a 1961 imprint, this map captures northwest Arkansas at a revealing mid-century moment, when Fayetteville was both an Ozark market town and an emerging educational center. The University of Arkansas anchors the urban fabric, while red-tinted built-up areas distinguish the city from the surrounding farms, wooded ridges, and open ground. Its 1:24,000 scale gives the landscape an intimate clarity: roads, streams, buildings, contours, and land-use patterns combine to create a richly detailed portrait of Fayetteville before later decades of suburban expansion transformed the region.
The US Geological Survey brought to this map the rigor that made its quadrangles indispensable to engineers, planners, geologists, hikers, and civic authorities. Founded in 1879, the USGS became the nation’s principal scientific mapping agency, translating field surveys into a standardized visual language of contours, symbols, colors, and coordinates. Here, that language is especially expressive: green tones mark vegetated areas, red shading indicates settlement, blue traces waterways, and closely spaced contour lines reveal the folds and rises of the Ozark terrain. Rather than a decorative overview, this is a working map of exceptional discipline, designed to make the land legible—its elevations, drainage, roads, and human occupation all rendered with measured confidence.
Fayetteville’s setting is the true protagonist of the map. The city sits among the western foothills of the Ozark Mountains, where the ground rises and falls in ridges, hollows, and creek valleys. Mount Kessler and Mount Comfort help define the local topography, while waterways such as Spring Creek, Little Mulberry Creek, and the White River system reveal the drainage patterns that shaped settlement and agriculture. Lake Sequoyah appears as an important local water feature, tied to recreation and municipal life. The contours are not merely technical marks; they show why roads bend, why farms occupy certain valleys, and why Fayetteville developed in a landscape both beautiful and physically demanding.
The surrounding towns and crossroads give the map its regional depth. Springdale, Farmington, Johnson, Elkins, Wilson, Wyman, Lowell, Tontitown, and Prairie Grove place Fayetteville within a network of Ozark communities linked by commerce, agriculture, and road travel. US Route 62, Arkansas Highway 112, and Arkansas Highway 45 trace important movement corridors, while the modern I-49 route would later intensify the north-south axis through the region. The notation of greenhouses and nurseries hints at the agricultural and horticultural character of the area, while Cane Hill and Prairie Grove evoke older settlement histories. In this landscape, town, farm, university, and woodland meet in a distinctly Arkansas pattern.
Historically, this map is a valuable snapshot of Fayetteville before the explosive growth of late twentieth-century northwest Arkansas. It preserves the city at a time when the University of Arkansas was expanding its influence, but before metropolitan development blurred the distinctions between Fayetteville, Springdale, and neighboring communities. It also invites comparison with later changes: the growth of transport infrastructure, suburban subdivisions, commercial corridors, and regional recreation around places such as Beaver Lake and the Ozark National Forest. Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park adds a Civil War resonance to the wider area, reminding the viewer that this apparently quiet topographic sheet contains layers of conflict, settlement, education, enterprise, and environmental change.

Looking for a particular place? Review the detailed images to confirm that the town, landmark or feature you have in mind appears on the map. If you are unsure, ask our workshop to check before you order.
Detailed maps are especially rewarding at larger sizes, where names, boundaries and decorative features have more room to be appreciated. Use the close-up preview and size guide to choose the right scale for your wall.
This map looks amazing at sizes all the way up to 50in (125cm). If you are looking for a larger map, please get in touch.
The model in the listing images is holding the 16x20in (40x50cm) version of this map.
Where personalisation is available, you can add a short title or dedication, mark one meaningful place, or request one considered visual detail. See personalised map examples.
Every piece is printed to museum-grade archival standards using fade-resistant pigment inks on acid-free matte paper. Choose an unframed map print, framed map or canvas using the finish options above. Framed maps use crystal-clear optical acrylic and arrive ready to hang.
With its rich detail and strong sense of place, this map makes a considered gift for a new home, anniversary, retirement or anyone with a personal connection to the area shown. Still deciding? Explore our collection of rare old and vintage maps to discover another place, period or style.
This map is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The map is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present a map without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas maps and explore the differences between my different finishes.
For something truly unique, this map is also available in "Unique 3D", our trademarked process that dramatically transforms the map so that it has a wonderful sense of depth. We combine the original map with detailed topography and elevation data, so that mountains and the terrain really "pop". For more info and examples of 3D maps, check my Unique 3D page.

Personalised and customised pieces usually take an extra 1–2 working days, because we prepare your design and send it to you for approval before printing.
Very large framed orders can take a little longer, as they need extra care in production and delivery.
Every order is carefully packaged: unframed prints are sent in a strong protective tube, while framed pieces are securely packed with protective materials around the frame.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.
We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.
Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.
Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.
All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.
If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.
Every Unique Maps piece begins with an authentic cartographic source or an original design from our London studio.
For our historic maps, we source rare originals from libraries, archives, auction houses and private collections around the world. We carefully restore each map for print—repairing age-related damage, balancing colour and improving clarity while preserving its original detail, texture and character.
Once restored, the map is prepared for your chosen size and finish. Your piece is then printed and, where selected, framed close to its delivery destination.
Our map prints use acid-free 200gsm archival matte paper and fade-resistant pigment inks, creating a rich, non-glossy finish designed to last. Framed maps use crystal-clear optical acrylic and arrive ready to hang.
Canvas, cotton-rag and other specialist presentations are also available. Learn more about our materials and finishes.
