1943 Map of Pinnacle Mtn

About this map

The Arkansas River carves a winding path through this mid-1940s landscape, serving as a primary corridor for the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific River railroad. Along its southern banks, the community of Pankey Addition and the settlement at Ivesville reflect the area's residential growth during the late New Deal era. Local social life is anchored by institutions like Taylors Chapel, New Hope Ch, and St Paul Ch, alongside rural schoolhouses such as Bailey Sch and the Joe T. Robinson Sch. Significant landmarks include the Pulaski County Prison Farm and the State Hospital Annex, illustrating the placement of public facilities on the outskirts of the growing capital region. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Pinnacle Mtn and Shinall Mtn, which overlook a network of bayous including Rectors Brake and Whiteoak Bayou.
