About this map

Table Rock Lake dominates this portion of Stone County, where the impounded waters of Flat Creek and Big Creek create a complex, winding shoreline. The settlement of Cape Fair is perched near the northern reaches of the lake, serving as a focal point for the area with the Cape Fair Cemetery and the Cape Fair Launching Ramp providing access to the water. The landscape is characterized by deeply incised hollows such as Mash Hollow and Carney Hollow, and prominent vertical features like Virgin Bluff and Long Bend Bluff that overlook the submerged river valleys.

Away from the immediate shoreline, the map reveals signs of community life and navigation, including the Woolly Creek Community Hall and the Pineview Lookout Tower. In the southern portion of the sheet, the small community of Norwalk sits near the lake's edge. The geography is punctuated by numerous named springs and gaps, including Siloam Spring, Marsh Spring, and Carr Low Gap, reflecting a landscape where water and topography dictated the placement of roads and homesteads.
