About this map

Arkansas River bends sharply through this region, shaping the borders of Perry, Faulkner, and Pulaski Counties. The river valley is punctuated by several prominent elevations, including Kenney Mtn, Easterwood Mtn, and Kryer Mtn, which overlook the fertile bottomlands near Lollie and Ledwidge. To the south, the massive expanse of Lake Maumelle dominates the landscape, while the northern reaches feature the confluence where Fourche La Fave River joins the main channel.

Local history is preserved in small communities like Little Italy and through several rural burial grounds such as Saint Francis Cem and Rainey Cem. These sites, along with the distinct geological feature at Natural Steps, provide a clear picture of the area's settlement patterns and natural landmarks. The map also traces the drainage systems of Tupelo Bayou and Mill Bayou, which feed into the larger river network.
