About this map

The Arkansas River defines the landscape as it winds through the borders of Faulkner, Perry, and Pulaski counties. This 2014 survey captures the distinct transition from the river bottomlands near Lollie to the elevated terrain of Kenney Mtn and Easterwood Mtn. To the south, the northern reaches of Lake Maumelle provide a stark contrast to the small, scattered rural communities like Little Italy and Ledwidge.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local data, including several smaller burial grounds such as Saint Francis Cem, Rainey Cem, and Faisst Cem. The map illustrates the complex hydrography of the region, where Tupelo Bayou and the Fourche LaFave River converge with the main river channel. Settlements such as Roland and the uniquely named Natural Steps anchor the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, connected by a network of state and local roads including Ar-300.
