About this map

The Pulaski and Lonoke county line divides this mid-1980s landscape, where the growing residential areas of Jacksonville and Cabot meet the expansive wetlands of the Holland Bottoms State Wildlife Management Area. The map reveals a transition from the structured military grounds of Little Rock Air Force Base in the southwest to the rural ridges and bayous further north. Settlement patterns follow the elevated ground of Backbone Ridge and Mill Ridge, with numerous country churches like Mt Pleasant Ch and Ebenezer Ch serving as community anchors.

The Union Pacific rail corridor serves as a primary axis through Cabot, while the surrounding lowlands are defined by the meandering Bayou Two Prairie and Blue Bayou. Geologic activity is visible in several Quarries and a Shale Pit north of town. For those tracing family history, the map includes several local burial grounds, including Concord Cem and Mt Carmel Cem, alongside local schools like Southside Sch and Pinewood Sch.
