About this map

Ferndale sits at the intersection of rural life and natural topography in this mid-century survey of the foothills west of Little Rock. The landscape is defined by the Lake Maumelle reservoir to the north and the winding course of the Little Maumelle River. Evidence of former infrastructure is found along the southern ridges, where an Old Railroad Grade and several sections of an Aqueduct trace the contours of Brush Mountain and Bullard Mountain.

Social and spiritual centers are well-documented for genealogists, including the Walnut Grove Ch Cem, North Point Ch, and the Browns Valley of Rest Cem. Educational and recreational hubs like the Joe T Robinson Sch, Pfeifer Camp, and Ferncliff Camp illustrate the area's development as a community retreat. Terrain features such as the Pinnacles and Buzzard Mountain overlook the various hollows and creek beds that feed into the larger river system.
