1975 Map of Pinnacle Mountain

About this map

Pinnacle Mountain stands as a prominent landmark in this 1975 orthophotomap, which captures the transition between the rising terrain and the broad river valley of central Arkansas. The imagery, derived from high-altitude aerial photography, clearly defines the confluence where the Maumelle River joins the much larger Arkansas River. This perspective reveals the dense forests of the mountain slopes set against the expanding suburban residential patterns emerging south of the river during the mid-1970s. The survey illustrates the relationship between the natural geography of the river's winding course and the intensifying land development along the transportation corridors that connect this area to the state's capital region.
