The Little Rock, Rock formation in Arkansas, US.
The sandstone outcrop extends into the Arkansas River, marking the first rock formation encountered when traveling upstream from the Mississippi River point.
French explorer Jean-Baptiste Benard de La Harpe documented this geological formation in 1722, naming it 'le Petit Rocher' on maps from 1799.
The rock formation determined the western boundary of the Quapaw Indian reservation in 1818 through a line extending south from this landmark.
The stone formation created a natural dock for riverboats and served as an anchor point for multiple ferry crossings during the early development period.
This rock formation consists of marine deposits from 320 million years ago, marking where Ouachita Mountains meet the Arkansas River floodplain.
