About this map

Pine Bluff Arsenal sits prominently along the Arkansas River in this mid-1980s look at central Arkansas. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major transportation corridors and river systems, including the Saline River and Ouachita River. Regional centers like Malvern and Sheridan serve as anchors for a network of smaller communities such as Prattsville, Poyen, and Donaldson.

Railroad history is visible through the infrastructure of the Missouri Pacific RR, the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific RR, and the St Louis Southwestern Ry, which crisscross the timberlands and river valleys. To the west, the Ouachita foothills emerge near Lake Catherine State Park, while the eastern portion of the map transitions into the delta lowlands around Pine Bluff, featuring specialized landmarks like Lake Pine Bluff and the oxbows of Hensley Island.
