About this map

North Little Rock and the burgeoning suburbs of Sherwood and Jacksonville anchor this 1961 survey, which was updated in 1970 to show the rapid expansion of residential areas. The landscape is a mix of industrial infrastructure and local community hubs, featuring the Missouri Pacific and Rock Island railroads intersecting at Protho Junction. This era of growth is evidenced by the numerous schools and churches, such as Harris Sch and Smoky Lane Ch, alongside local landmarks like the Dark Hollow Interchange.

The terrain transitions from the elevated heights of Purdham Hill and Franklin Hill toward the low-lying wetlands and oxbows of the Bayou Meto system. Notable water features including Faulkner Lake, Ink Bayou, and a series of numbered lakes like Lake No 1 through Lake No 6 define the eastern and southern reaches. To the northwest, the map documents the edge of the Camp Joseph T Robinson training area, grounding the region's mid-century military importance.
