1986 Map of Alexander

About this map

Ellis Mountain and Alexander Mountain dominate this mid-1980s terrain where the western suburbs of Little Rock meet the Saline County line. The map records a landscape in transition, characterized by established rural communities like Martindale and Collegeville alongside growing residential developments such as Shannon Hills and Mabelvale. Local history is deeply etched into the topography through numerous family and community landmarks, including Martindale Ch, Quinn Chapel, and Crystal Hill Ch. Large memorial grounds like Forest Hills Memorial Park (Cemetery) and Pine Forest Memorial Park (Cemetery) serve as significant regional markers. Transport and industry are represented by the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor and several Quarries tucked into the slopes of Ellis Mountain, illustrating the area's dual role as a suburban retreat and a resource-rich upland.
