About this map

The Arkansas River serves as the northern anchor for this mid-1990s urban study of the state capital. The city's civic core is clearly visible, featuring the State Capitol and the Courthouse, while the residential sprawl expands southward through established neighborhoods like Oak Forest and Westwood. The map reveals the intricate social and educational infrastructure of the period, from Central High Sch and Philander Smith College to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

Industry and natural features contrast sharply on the southern edge. The meandering path of Fourche Creek cuts through the landscape, separating the suburban developments of Wakefield Village and Cloverdale from the industrial zones of Woodyardville. Further south, the presence of Inactive Strip Mines and a Strip Mine near Ironton indicates the region's historical reliance on mineral extraction, providing a clear record of land use before further urbanization altered these outskirts.
