1945 Map of Sweet Home

About this map

The Arkansas River meanders through this mid-1940s landscape, shaping the industrial and agricultural character of the southern Little Rock vicinity. South of the city, the community of College Station and the Union Industrial Agriculture College anchor a landscape defined by significant transit and resource extraction, including several Strip Mine operations near Granite Mtn. This era shows a dense network of local landmarks, from Adams Airport on the river's edge to the St Louis Southwestern and Missouri Pacific railroads that facilitated the region's commerce.
