1991 Map of Morrilton West

About this map

Petit Jean Mountain rises dramatically above the south bank of the Arkansas River, creating a distinctive geographic barrier that shaped the development of Morrilton. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Point Remove Creek and its various branches, which separate the river lowlands from the growing industrial and residential zones. This era shows the expansion of the town near the Country Club and Oddfellows Cem, alongside infrastructure like Lock and Dam No 9 and a Fish Hatchery. Genealogy and local history are preserved in several family and community sites, including Happy Bend Cem and Hill Cem near the Blackwell settlement. To the west, the protected terrain of Petit Jean State Park at Stouts Point provides a clear view of the river's historic transport corridor.
