1961 Map of North Little Rock

About this map

Camp Joseph T Robinson dominates the northern landscape of this survey, serving as a significant National Guard training area with its own National Guard Airport and a network of training ranges across Purdham Hill. The Arkansas River serves as the central geographic divider, bridged by the Missouri Pacific and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads. On the north bank, the urban development of North Little Rock and Levy shows dense residential growth, while the south bank features the historic neighborhoods of Pulaski Heights and the independent enclave of Cammack Village. Institutional history is prominent, from the sprawling Fort Roots Veterans Administration Hospital on Big Rock Mountain to several specialized schools like the School for Deaf and School for Blind. The map also captures the early stages of the river's navigation improvements at Lock and Dam No 7.
