Little Rock under Union occupation

Then

Steele's army captured Little Rock in September 1863 and garrisoned it, along with towns up and down the Arkansas River, for the rest of the war. The Union Army seized the Memphis and Little Rock Railroad and used its western section to supply the occupation force.

Steele's Camden Expedition toward Shreveport was turned back to Little Rock after Confederate victories at Marks' Mills and Poison Spring in April 1864.

Now

Lines owned by Union Pacific and smaller railroads run through Little Rock today.
