About this map

The Arkansas River winds through this landscape, defining the industrial and logistical character of the region south of North Little Rock and Little Rock. The map reveals the extensive footprint of the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field tucked between Peach Orchard Bend and Fourche Creek. This area is characterized by a complex network of bayous and cut-offs, such as Willow Bar Cutoff and Old Channel Fourche Creek, which speak to the river's historical shifts and modern containment.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous small burial grounds and settlements bordering the wetlands, including Sweet Home, College Station, and Wrightsville. Notable sites like the Sweet Home Community Cem and All Souls Rest Cem are situated along the ridges above the Fourche Bayou bottomlands, reflecting the long-established communities that have navigated the fertile but flood-prone terrain of Pulaski County.
