Barrington Atlas: BAtlas 54 D4 Argos Amphilochikon?
Local toponymy has changed significantly since this site started being referenced in modern scholarly sources. The old town of Loutro (north of the site) is now abandoned (see Wikipedia: Λουτρό Αιτωλοακαρνανίας) . Another, even closer, small agglomeration has adopted the ancient name: "Amfilohiko Argos" (see Wikipedia: Αμφιλοχικό Άργος Αιτωλοακαρνανίας). The toponyms "Neokhori" and "Ag. Ioannes", cited in BAtlDir, do not seem to appear in modern digital gazetteers.
