1954 Map of Woodson

About this map

Wrightsville and Woodson anchor this mid-century look at the alluvial lowlands south of Little Rock, where the landscape is defined by the shifting course of the Arkansas River. The settlement pattern follows a series of intricate bayous and sloughs, including Fourche Bayou and Kuykendall Brake, which create a complex drainage system across the Pulaski and Saline county line. Of particular note for local history is the presence of several rural congregations and family burial grounds, such as Cypress Church, Birden Cemetery, and New Eagle Church.
