2024 Map of Pocket Prairie

About this map

Grand Prairie and Pocket Prairie dominate this Lonoke County landscape, where the flat alluvial geography is defined by a dense network of slow-moving waterways and drainage branches. The central corridor of the map follows the transport lines that connect the small settlements of Sisemore and McCreanor to the larger community of Carlisle. Local heritage is anchored by landmarks like Carlisle Cem and Sunset Memorial Gardens, while the surrounding acreage is segmented by family-named roads such as O'Cain Rd and Ray Schafer Rd. The complex hydrology of the region is evident in the many winding tributaries, including Wattensaw Bayou, Bayou Two Prairie, and White Oak Branch, which crisscross the prairie lands and historically influenced the placement of early homesteads and rail lines.
