About this map

Camp Joseph T Robinson dominates the central landscape of this mid-1990s survey, straddling the border between Faulkner and Pulaski counties. The map captures a transition from the structured military grounds of the National Guard reservation to the residential and agricultural pockets of the Arkansas interior. Key landmarks like the Immaculate Heart of Mary Sch and the Mt Psyam Cemetery provide valuable anchor points for genealogical research, while rural crossroads like Brockington Corner and Gentry Corner suggest the area's local history of community development.

Water features define the northern and southern fringes, from the eastern edge of Lake Conway to the winding course of White Oak Bayou. The terrain rises sharply at Clifton Mountain and Rock Ridge, creating a natural barrier that separates the military reservation from the developing neighborhoods of Morgan and Cedar Heights in the south. This topographic detail illustrates how the physical geography of the ridge lines has influenced both military land use and local settlement patterns.
