About this map

Educational institutions and complex water systems define this central Arkansas landscape. The city of Conway serves as a major hub, housing Hendrix College, Central Baptist College, and the University of Central Arkansas. This concentration of campuses within the city grid contrasts with the surrounding geography, which is shaped by the presence of Lake Conway to the south and the winding path of Tucker Creek through the municipal center.

Outside the urban limits, the terrain rises toward Cadron Ridge and Pisgah Mountain to the north, while smaller communities like Gold Creek and Preston sit near the shoreline. Local heritage is preserved in numerous burial sites such as Saint Joseph Cemetery and Macedonia Cemetery. The map also illustrates the transition from the structured street plan of the city to the more dispersed residential developments of Gold Lake Estates near the water.
