About this map

Lake Maumelle dominates the northern border of this topographic survey, showing the Spillway Elevation 290 and the path of the Maumelle River as it passes through the terrain of Pulaski and Saline counties. The landscape is characterized by a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines, including Crystal Mountain, Rattlesnake Mountain, and Pigeon Roost Mountain, while the southern portion transitions into the drainage of the North Fork Saline River.

Evidence of rural community life is scattered throughout the hills, anchored by Smyrna Ch and the Cold Spring Cem near Cold Spring Creek. An Aqueduct system is visible tracing the southern slopes of the Maumelle valley, while family-named landmarks like Jennings Mountain and Cole Mountain suggest the deep roots of local homesteaders. The presence of Schoolhouse Mountain and the Holland area further point to the historical settlement patterns of this central Arkansas region.
