About this map

Little Rock and its southwestern expansion meet the more rural transitions of Pulaski and Saline Counties in this 2014 survey. This map highlights a complex topography of ridges and basins, such as Ellis Mtn and Alexander Mtn, interspersed with a network of residential developments and academic institutions including the Baptist Health Schools-Little Rock. The landscape is heavily influenced by the drainage patterns of Fourche Cr and its tributaries, which have led to the creation of numerous small reservoirs and community lakes like Lake Patricia and Sandpiper Lake.

Transport corridors define the modern settlement patterns here, with the Union Pacific rail line and major road networks connecting older hubs like Alexander and Mabelvale to newer communities such as Shannon Hills and Terrytown. Genealogists will find several burial grounds preserved among the development, including Ida Mission Cem and Halstead Cem, while the location of Pine Crest Memorial Park serves as a prominent landmark at the edge of Bryant.
