1944 Map of Little Rock

About this map

Douglasville and the southern reaches of Little Rock are defined by a complex grid of 1940s neighborhoods and intersecting rail lines. The landscape is structured by the Fifth Principal Base Line, where rural life meets industrial growth. Near the winding Fourche Creek, the presence of the Granite Quarry and various rail junctions like Hot Springs Junction and Biddle highlight the era's logistical importance. Smaller communities such as Geyer Springs and Ironton are dotted with local institutions, including Liberty Ch, Spring Hill Ch, and the Base Line Sch. To the north, the urban core is anchored by Fair Park and extensive burial grounds at Oakland Cem and Calvary Cem, while the southern terrain rises into Echo Valley near the border of Pulaski and Saline counties.
