1961 Map of Pinnacle Mountain

About this map

Pinnacle Mountain and the Fulk Mountains dominate this 1961 landscape west of Little Rock, where the Arkansas River bends south past the community of Natural Steps. The map reveals a transition from the river's floodplain to high peaks like Shinall Mountain, which serves as a hub for communication, noted by its collection of (KTHV) (KARK-TV) Radio Towers. Local life is anchored by small settlements such as Ivesville and Pankey Addition, while the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad skirts the southern edge of Big Rock. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including the Old Soldiers Cem and State Hospital Cem, alongside civic landmarks like the County Prison Farm and Robinson Sch. The presence of an aqueduct and the Pumping Station at Lake Maumelle highlights the critical water infrastructure supporting the growing metropolitan area.
