About this map

Arkansas River oxbows and industrial history define this landscape south of North Little Rock and Little Rock. The area around Sweet Home is particularly dense with mineral history, showing a concentration of resource extraction including the Sweet Home Mine, Ratcliffe Mine, and Burks-Nelson Mine. This industrial footprint exists alongside long-standing community landmarks such as Westminster Church and the Sweet Home Post Office.

To the east, the river's shifting path is marked by features like Jones Cut-Off and Fourche Place Cut-Off, which have created landforms like Chenault Island and Willow Beach Lake. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling infrastructure of Adams Airfield and the residential pockets of Picron and College Station. This 2011 survey captures the complex intersection of aviation, mining, and river-based topography in the heart of central Arkansas.
