1954 Map of Cabot

About this map

Little Rock Air Force Base dominates the southwestern quadrant of this landscape, its expansive runways and military infrastructure set against the agricultural and woodland patterns of the Pulaski and Lonoke county line. The Missouri Pacific railroad serves as a central artery, anchoring the growth of Cabot in the northeast and Jacksonville in the south. The terrain is defined by two prominent rises, Backbone Ridge and Bayou Meto Ridge, which channel water toward Bayou Meto and Two Prairie Bayou. Rural life is evident in the cluster of community landmarks such as Ebenezer Church, Concord Cemetery, and the Midway School. Historical details such as Quapaw Mineral Springs and the small settlement of Toneyville provide specific points of interest for those tracing the development of central Arkansas during this post-war era.
