2014 Map of Jacksonville

About this map

Jacksonville occupies the northwestern corner of this study, sitting at the transition from urbanized street grids to the wetlands of the Pulaski Co and Lonoke Co line. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water bodies, including the meandering Bayou Meto, Ash Slough, and Hills Lake. This 2014 survey reveals a territory where modern infrastructure, like the Ar-294 corridor, navigates around significant natural preserves and agricultural land. The map is particularly rich in genealogical data, preserving the locations of numerous family-named burial grounds such as McCraw Cem, Lone Cypress Cem, and Martin Cem. To the northeast, the Holland Bottoms state wildlife area remains largely undeveloped, while small clusters of settlement persist at South Bend and Union Valley, reflecting the area's mix of rural heritage and suburban expansion.
