About this map

Bull Shoals Lake dominates this north-central Arkansas landscape, its intricate, branching fingers reaching into the Ozark Plateau near the Missouri border. The map captures a topography defined by high ridges like Promise Land Ridge and Long Mtn, which separate the various creek valleys and lake coves. Small communities such as Oakland, Lakeview, and the city of Bull Shoals are situated along the elevated terrain, linked by a network of county roads including Oakland Rd and Sister Creek Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community burial grounds, such as Price Place Cem, Promised Land Cem, and Newton Flat Cem. The map illustrates how modern recreation and residential developments, like those near Ferncliff Pt and Frost Point, have integrated with the traditional rural character of Marion and Baxter Counties. Water features like Sister Cr and Mountain Creek continue to shape the drainage patterns that define this section of the White River basin.
