1975 Map of Lonoke SE

About this map

Agricultural patterns dominate this 1975 orthophotoquad, which uses aerial photography to capture the landscape surrounding the western outskirts of Carlisle. The imagery reveals a complex patchwork of cultivated fields and wooded drainages typical of the Arkansas Grand Prairie region. Because this is an orthophotograph rather than a traditional line-drawn topographic map, the view provides a direct visual record of the 1970s land use, showing the exact footprint of farmsteads, access roads, and forest lines during the mid-decade. The rectilinear grid of the local road network and the prominent paths of state and interstate highways bisect the rural terrain, illustrating the connectivity between local farm operations and the regional center of Carlisle.
