1954 Map of Pinnacle Mountain

About this map

Pinnacle Mountain and the surrounding Fulk Mountains dominate the horizon west of Little Rock in this mid-1950s survey. The Arkansas River serves as the primary geographic corridor, flanked by the Missouri Pacific and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads. The landscape reveals a complex mix of mid-century infrastructure and rural community life, featuring the sprawling Maumelle Ordnance Works and the Pulaski-County Prison Farm alongside long-established settlements like Natural Steps and the Pankey Addition. Researchers will find a high density of local landmarks, from the Joe T Robinson School to numerous country congregations including Nalls Memorial Church and Mountain View Church. The inclusion of the State Hospital and various family-named cemeteries such as Grimmette Cemetery and Aaron Cemetery provide significant genealogical value for the region before extensive modern suburban expansion.
