About this map

Little Rock is defined by a landscape of industry and history where the Arkansas River meets a series of prominent peaks, including Allis Mountain and Granite Mountain. This era shows the city deeply integrated with its transportation infrastructure, featuring the complex Hot Springs Junction and the Markham Street Interchange serving a growing network of Interstates. The southern reaches of the map reveal a heavy industrial footprint, specifically within the Berger and Brittain areas where numerous mineral extraction sites are clustered. Notable operations include the England Shaft Mine, Rauch Estate Open Pit Mine, and Dixie Number 3 Mine, indicating the region's geological value.

Genealogists will find a wealth of history across numerous burial grounds, from the Little Rock National Cemetery and Mount Holly Cemetery to the Fraternal Cemetery. Educational and cultural life is anchored by the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and the landmark Barton Coliseum. Residential patterns are visible in established neighborhoods like Oak Forest, Geyer Springs, and Meadowcliff, while the southern corridor transitions into newer developments such as Woodland Ridge near the shores of Willow Springs Lake.
