2020 Map of Pocket Prairie

About this map

Carlisle and the surrounding agricultural expanses of the Grand Prairie dominate this survey, which illustrates the transition from rural prairie to organized township. The landscape is defined by its drainage networks, where Bayou Two Prairie and Wattensaw Bayou meander through the flatlands, accompanied by tributaries like Shumaker Br and White Oak Br. Smaller settlements and local stop-points like Sisemore, McCreanor, and the namesake Pocket Prairie are situated along the transit corridors, reflecting the enduring rural character of Lonoke County. Local heritage is further represented by Carlisle Cem and Sunset Memorial Gardens. The map also details a dense grid of county roads, such as Ray Schafer Rd and O'Cain Rd, which underscore the organized land use and property divisions essential to the region's farming economy.
