About this map

Greers Ferry Lake dominates this Cleburne County landscape, its sprawling, intricate shoreline creating numerous points and islands such as Scout Island and Goat Island. The map illustrates a contemporary recreational and residential layout, where settlements like Tannenbaum and Lake Ridge sit perched along the water's edge. To the south, the northern reaches of Heber Springs appear near the Heber Springs Municipal Airport, showing the town's expansion toward the lake.

Further inland, the terrain rises toward Bear Mtn, while small communities like Brownsville and Budd Creek maintain a more rural character. For local historians, the inclusion of Holland Cem and Pleasant Ridge Cem provides valuable genealogical anchors. The map also documents local infrastructure, from the small Phalanx Airport to the various hollows such as Copperas Spring Hollow and Wildcat Hollow that drain into the reservoir, reflecting the region's transformation from a river valley to a major hydroelectric and tourism hub.
