2014 Map of Ferndale

About this map

Ferndale sits at the heart of this 2014 geographic study, marking a transition between the suburban westward expansion of Little Rock and the high ridges of the Ouachita foothills. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Maumelle River and the significant water resource of Lake Maumelle to the north. Distinctive geological features like the Maumelle Pinnacles and several prominent peaks, including Shinall Mountain and Grindstone Mountain, provide a framework for the local road network. Local genealogy is anchored by several rural burial sites, including Pleasant Grove Cemetery and the Browns Valley of Rest Cemetery. The map captures the intersection of Pulaski and Saline counties, illustrating how modern residential developments like Northpoint and small hollows like Bland Hollow coexist within the river valley's complex drainage system.
