About this map

Camp Joseph T Robinson dominates the northwest corner of this mid-1980s landscape, providing a clear boundary for the rapid suburban expansion of Sherwood and Sylvan Hills. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Purdham Hill and Red Hill down toward the alluvial plains of Faulkner Lake and Ink Bayou. This period shows the intricate development of residential blocks and educational facilities, including Sylvan Hills High School and Northeast High School, set against a backdrop of established transportation corridors like the Missouri Pacific railroad.

Local history is preserved in small pockets like the Meacham Cemetery and Hickman Memorial Cemetery, while the industrial and utility footprint is evident through the widespread Sewage Disposal Ponds and the Powerplant near Rose City. The map documents the complex intersection of the Dark Hollow Interchange, illustrating how the highway system reshaped the older communities of McAlmont, Booker, and Protho Junction as the Little Rock metropolitan area grew eastward.
