An exceptionally rare 1888 two-color chromolithograph bird's-eye view map of Hot Springs, Arkansas - arguably American's first national park and spa city. The view looks east on Hot Springs, possibly from a high point on nearby Sugarloaf Mountain - now part of Hot Springs National Park. Central Avenue, with its bath houses and grand hotels, cuts laterally across the page. Eleven bath houses are noted and keyed alphabetically in the lower right - curiously, they are lettered A-M, but 'I' and 'J' have been omitted. In addition, some 33 other locations, ranging from hotels to stationers and jewelers, are noted and keyed numerically. In the background, the wooden observation tower built in 1877 on top of Hot Springs Mountain by local mill owner Enoch Woolman is identifiable - this was replaced by the current metal tower in 1906.
