1954 Map of Spring Lake

About this map

The rolling timberland of the Saline and Pulaski county line is characterized by a network of rural homesteads and scattered religious institutions in the mid-1950s. The settlement at East End serves as a local focal point, while the Landmark School and nearby Landmark Church suggest a well-established community center north of the county boundary. Further south, the landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks including Clear Creek and Duck Creek, which feed into local water bodies like Mary Lake and Ferguson Lake. A distinctive social landmark, the Spring Lake Club, sits near Spring Lake, reflecting the recreational use of these upland water sources. The presence of the Carmelite Novitiate and several small burial grounds such as Salem Cemetery and Jay Cemetery provides a detailed view of the spiritual and familial layout of the area before modern suburban expansion transformed this section of central Arkansas.
