About this map

North Little Rock and its expanding northern suburbs of Sherwood and Sylvan Hills are defined by a complex network of bayous, small lakes, and infrastructure in this mid-1980s landscape. The northeast corner of Camp Joseph T Robinson anchors the northwestern quadrant, while the Missouri Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal path toward Jacksonville. The map captures the suburban growth of the era, visible in the densely packed residential streets of Lakewood and the numerous educational facilities like Northeast High School and Lakewood Junior High.

Localized history is preserved in small settlements and cemeteries that predate the modern expansion, including McAlmont, Booker, and Galloway. Significant water features like Indianhead Lake and Faulkner Lake break up the industrial and residential development, while the Baucum State Nursery sits on the southern edge near the river valley. Numerous burial sites, such as the Bruchy Cemetery and Meacham Cemetery, provide valuable anchor points for genealogical research in this part of Pulaski County.
