About this map

Greers Ferry Lake dominates this Cleburne County landscape, its expansive waters defining the shoreline of Eden Isle and the Silver Ridge Peninsula. The 2017 terrain is characterized by a complex of named islands and inlets, including Little Goat Island, Goat Island, and Scout Island, reflecting the area's development into a major recreational and residential hub. Inland, the settlement of Brownsville sits at a higher elevation near Brownsville Spring and the prominent Bear Mtn.

Tracing the historical footprint of the community reveals long-established sites like Holland Cem and Pleasant Ridge Cem. Transportation and infrastructure are central to the region's modern character, marked by the Heber Springs Municipal Airport and the community of Tumbling Shoals to the east. Numerous creeks like Little Peter Cr and Rocky Br feed into the lake, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that existed long before the reservoir's creation.
