Burnett Springs
Burnett Springs is the site of a former resort community in rural Logan County, Arkansas. It is located at the end of County Road 704, about west of the community of Corley. The area was developed as a spring-based spa resort by Captain John Burnette in the 1870s. A small town sprang around a three-story spa hotel, which fell into decline after 1915. The hotel burned in 1930, and all of the other buildings have succumbed to the elements. The only surviving above-ground feature is one of the spring sites, which is set in a stone reservoir box shelter from erosion by stone walls. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.

The Arkansas River is a major tributary of the Mississippi River. It generally flows to the east and southeast as it traverses the U.S. states of Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. The river's source basin lies in the western United States in Colorado, specifically the Arkansas River Valley. The headwaters derive from the snowpack in the Sawatch and Mosquito mountain ranges. It flows east into the Midwest via Kansas, and finally into the South through Oklahoma and Arkansas. At , it is the sixth-longest river in the United States, the second-longest tributary in the Mississippi–Missouri system, and the 45th longest river in the world. Its origin is in the Rocky Mountains in Lake County, Colorado, near Leadville.

Paris Post Office
The Paris Post Office is located at 206 North Elm Street in downtown Paris, Arkansas. It is located in a modest Colonial Revival building, built in 1937 as part of a major federal building project. It is notable for the controversy over its interior artwork, which was funded by the Treasury Department's Section of Fine Arts, and executed by Joseph P. Vorst. The murals proposed by Vorst depicted a raggedly dressed African-American with several skinny mules, approaching a tarpaper shack that appears to be the man's home. There was public outcry, with Vorst defending the depiction as an accurate rendition of the area during a visit he made. He then submitted an alternate drawing, which showed a stock farm, cotton gin, and other more benign imagery, which was accepted. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.

National Register Of Historic Places
The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the United States federal government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects deemed worthy of preservation for their historical significance or "great artistic value". A property listed in the National Register, or located within a National Register Historic District, may qualify for tax incentives derived from the total value of expenses incurred in preserving the property. The passage of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) in 1966 established the National Register and the process for adding properties to it. Of the more than one and a half million properties on the National Register, 95,000 are listed individually. The remainder are contributing resources within historic districts. For most of its history, the National Register has been administered by the National Park Service (NPS), an agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior.

Concurrency (road)
A concurrency in a road network is an instance of one physical roadway bearing two or more different route numbers. When two roadways share the same right-of-way, it is sometimes called a common section or commons. Other terminology for a concurrency includes overlap, coincidence, duplex (two concurrent routes), triplex (three concurrent routes), multiplex (any number of concurrent routes), dual routing or triple routing. Concurrent numbering can become very common in jurisdictions that allow it. Where multiple routes must pass between a single mountain crossing or over a bridge, or through a major city, it is often economically and practically advantageous for them all to be accommodated on a single physical roadway. In some jurisdictions, however, concurrent numbering is avoided by posting only one route number on highway signs; these routes disappear at the start of the concurrency and reappear when it ends. However, any route that becomes unsigned in the middle of the concurren ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
