About this map

Pigeon Roost Mountain and Crystal Mountain dominate this central Arkansas landscape, where the rugged topography is defined by parallel ridges and steep hollows. The boundary between Pulaski and Saline counties winds through these heights, marked by significant elevations like Rattlesnake Mountain and High Point. Human footprints are visible in the corridors of the Wilhite Grade and a Railroad Grade that traverse the lower elevations.

Water management and local heritage are centered around the northern reaches of Lake Maumelle and its source, the Maumelle River. In the southern half, the North Fork Saline River drains the high country. For the local historian, the map preserves the exact locations of rural landmarks like Smyrna Ch and Cold Spring Cem, alongside numerous family-named peaks such as Jennings Mountain and Cole Mountain.
