1994 Map of Alexander

About this map

Ellis Mountain and Alexander Mountain dominate the terrain west of the Little Rock corporate boundary, where suburban expansion meets the steep ridges of central Arkansas. In the mid-1990s, this area transitioned from the rural character of Martindale and Lawson to the more developed corridors along Stagecoach Road and Interstate 30. Significant local landmarks include Forest Hills Memorial Park (Cemetery) and the Baptist Medical Center, alongside established neighborhoods like Mabelvale and Terrytown. The map captures a landscape defined by its hydrology, where Fourche Creek and Otter Creek wind through the valleys between the mountains. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally rich in burial sites and small community centers, including Ida Mission Cem, Pleasant Grove Cem, and Quinn Chapel, providing a detailed view of the region's social geography during a period of steady growth.
