2017 Map of Carlisle

About this map

The town of Carlisle and its surrounding agricultural plains are defined by a network of drainage canals and reservoirs essential to the region's rice-growing heritage. Situated along the boundary of Lonoke and Prairie Counties, marked by Co Line Rd, the landscape transitions from the grid-like streets of the main settlement to the outlying community of Screeton and the western edge of Hazen. Local history is anchored at sites like Carlisle Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and Mount Pleasant Cem, while the industrial and transportation footprint is reflected in the Carlisle Municipal Airport. Water management is prominent throughout the terrain, with features such as Vaughts Reservoir, Lake Treadway, and the wandering course of Bayou Two Prairie. This survey captures the rural character of the Grand Prairie region, where a complex irrigation system including Buck Cr and La Grue Bayou supports the local economy.
