What state capital was used as a landmark in the early navigation of the Arkansas River?

If you're floating down the Arkansas, look out for the "little rock" that once indicated an important river crossing. Arkansas' capital was named after the outcropping of rock on the river's south bank, which the French called "La Petite Roche". This would later become the settlement's name.
