About this map

The Toltec Mounds stand as a prominent feature on this mid-century landscape where the Pulaski County and Lonoke County line meets. This survey captures a highly specialized agricultural and hydrological environment defined by oxbow lakes and brakes, such as Bearskin Lake, Snow Brake, and Bullneck Brake. The settlement of Scott serves as a local hub near the St Louis Southwestern railroad, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with small communities like Toltec and Cobbs.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including the Simmons Cemetery, Le Grande Cemetery, and numerous rural churches like Mt Hope Church and Hickory Grove Church. The intricate network of bayous, including Plum Bayou and Ashley Bayou, illustrates the complex drainage of the Arkansas River floodplain. Transportation and utility infrastructure are marked by the Fifth Principal Base Line and a prominent pipeline cutting across the eastern sectors.
