About this map

North Little Rock and its expanding northern suburbs define this 1961 landscape as postwar residential development meets the industrial rail corridors of central Arkansas. The map reveals a transition from the established military footprint of Camp Joseph T Robinson to the planned neighborhoods of Sylvan Hills and Lakewood. Transportation is a central theme, with the Missouri Pacific and Rock Island railroads cutting across the terrain toward Jacksonville, while the Dark Hollow Interchange signals the rise of the modern highway system.

Local history is preserved in the detailed labeling of community anchors like the Franklin D Roosevelt Sch and Holly Grove Ch. Along the meandering curves of Ink Bayou and Stark Bend, the map tracks the geography of smaller settlements such as McAlmont and Protho Junction. From the waters of Peeler Lake to the headstones at Meacham Cem, the survey provides a precise look at Pulaski County's mid-century growth.
