About this map

Lake Maumelle dominates the northern landscape of this survey, serving as a significant geographical anchor for the surrounding hills of Pulaski County. The settlement of Ferndale lies to the south, nestled near the Little Maumelle River and the nearby Ferncliff Camp. The era's emphasis on youth and religious outreach is evident in the presence of several established grounds, including the Arkansas Baptist Camp and Pfeifer Camp.

Genealogists will find several burial sites and rural congregations documented across the terrain, from Union Chapel in the east to Spring Valley Cem near the river. Significant elevation changes are marked by a series of named peaks such as Big Rock Mountain and Shinall Mountain, where Radio Towers are noted. An Old Railroad Grade and a prominent Aqueduct trace the paths of former industry and infrastructure through the wooded ridges of Brush Mountain.
