1985 Map of Bull Shoals Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Bull Shoals Lake and Norfork Lake dominate this mid-1980s landscape of the Ozarks, their sprawling shorelines defined by the damming of the White River and North Fork River. This period shows a region transitioning from isolated highland farming and mining toward its modern identity as a water-recreation hub. The Missouri Pacific RR corridor through Pyatt, Yellville, and Cotter illustrates the historical transport backbone that once moved minerals and timber from the interior. Traceable relics of earlier industry include the Lost Bell Mine and scattered gravel pits, while numerous schools and cemeteries mark the legacy of rural communities such as Dodd City, Monarch, and Everton. Protected areas like the Sylamore State Wildlife Management Area and the Ozark National Forest underscore the persistent wilderness character of the Buffalo River corridor.
