1894 Map of Morrillton

About this map

The Arkansas River serves as the dominant artery of this late-nineteenth-century landscape, flanked by the critical transportation corridor of the Little Rock & Fort Smith R. R. On its northern bank, the growing railroad towns of Morrillton, Atkins, and Plummerville anchor the local economy. The terrain transitions from these river lowlands into a complex series of ridges and knobs, most notably the high plateau of Petit Jean and the striking height of Cedar Falls Mt. with its marked falls.
