About this map

Carlisle serves as the primary hub of this Lonoke County landscape, where the rectilinear grid of the town site meets a complex network of agricultural drainage and aviation infrastructure. The region is defined by its transition from the built environment to an extensive hydraulic system including Bayou Two Prairie, La Grue Bayou, and Hansons Reservoir. Transportation and utility corridors are prominent, with multiple airstrips such as Carlisle Municipal Airport and Hazen Municipal Airport supporting the local economy.

Rural life is anchored by several long-standing landmarks and small crossroads. Settlements like Barrettsville, Screeton, and Prairie Center dot the northern and eastern reaches, while family history is preserved at the Mount Zion, Mount Pleasant, and Carlisle Cemetery. Water management is a visible priority, evidenced by the Lake Treadway Dam on Buck Creek and numerous smaller tributaries like Faras Run and Mellon Branch that feed the surrounding prairie.
