1963 Map of Ferndale

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Lake Maumelle dominates the northern landscape of this region, its waters held back by an aqueduct and spillway system that reshaped the natural drainage of Worthen Creek and Twin Creek. The settlement of Ferndale serves as a central hub, surrounded by a complex topography of ridges including Buzzard Mountain, Brush Mountain, and the distinctive Maumelle Pinnacles. Evidence of earlier transport and industry is visible in the Old Railroad Grade running west of the river. The map identifies several religious and community centers, such as North Point Ch and Union Chapel, alongside numerous family-named burial grounds like Pleasant Grove Cem and Guenther Cem. This mid-century survey documents a transitional period where rural church-centered communities and youth retreats like Ferncliff Camp and Pfeifer Camp persisted alongside the developing infrastructure of the Little Maumelle River valley.
