About this map

Arkansas Tech University and the expansion of Russellville dominate this late twentieth-century landscape where education and energy meet the Arkansas River. The map documents a significant industrial and historical intersection, featuring the prominent Nuclear Powerplant on the western shore of Lake Dardanelle. This reservoir, created by the Dardanelle Lock and Dam, transformed the Illinois Bayou and the surrounding terrain of London Mountain and Norristown Mountain.

A notable historical marker is the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts diagonally across the quadrangle, preserving a record of earlier territorial divisions. Genealogists can find numerous local burial sites such as Swann Cem, Booher Cem, and Oakland Cemetery. The map also captures the settlement at Norristown and the infrastructure of the Union Pacific RR, reflecting the region's long-standing role as a transportation hub between the river and the interstate corridor.
