About this map

Ellis Mountain and the prominent Big Rock formation anchor this 1961 survey of the landscape southwest of Little Rock. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Fourche Creek, Brodie Creek, and McHenry Creek, which carve through the terrain near early settlements like Martindale and Collegeville. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible in the several quarries and the presence of the Garretts Landing Strip.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous established cemeteries and community hubs, such as Forest Hills Memorial Park, Pine Crest Memorial Park, and the Crystal Hill Ch Cem. The transition from rural to suburban development is underway, marked by sites like the State Girls Training Sch and the David O Dodd Sch, alongside the growing communities of Mabelvale and Terrytown.
