1953 Map of Mayflower

About this map

Arkansas River navigation and the rugged ridges of the Ouachita foothills define this landscape along the boundary of Faulkner and Pulaski counties. The settlement of Mayflower is positioned near the shores of Clear Lake, where a dense network of docks including Jacks Landing, Paradise Landing, and Pooles Landing indicates the area's importance for river and lake access. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into Piney Mountain and Reynolds Mountain, while the lowlands are marked by significant sites like the National Guard Training Area and the grounds of Former Camp Joseph T Robinson. Small rural communities and church congregations are well-preserved in this record, from White City Church near the river to Mount Pilgrim Church and Trinity Grove Church further inland. The Missouri Pacific and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads trace the natural corridors through the hills and valleys.
