About this map

The Arkansas River serves as the central artery for this mid-1980s urban and military landscape, separating Little Rock and North Little Rock. To the north, the sprawling grounds of Camp Joseph T. Robinson and the North Little Rock Municipal Airport dominate the topography alongside Purdham Hill. The map documents a dense network of civic and educational institutions, including the Arkansas School for Blind, Arkansas School for Deaf, and Shorter College.

Along the riverbanks, large-scale public works like the Murray Lock and Dam and the expansive Burns Park illustrate the region's mid-century recreational and navigational infrastructure. Residential enclaves such as Cammack Village, Pulaski Heights, and the settlement of Marche provide a detailed look at the suburban growth and historical community boundaries of Pulaski County before late-20th-century expansions. Notable landmarks like the Fort Roots VA Hospital and St Josephs Orphanage offer specific points of interest for local historians.
