About this map

Norfork Lake dominates the central landscape of this northern Arkansas survey, carving a complex shoreline through the hills of Baxter County. The settlement of Clarkridge sits just south of the Missouri border, serving as a focal point for a network of country roads like County Road 36 and County Road 786. This era shows a community increasingly defined by recreational and residential development near the water, evidenced by Dogwood Park, Kingswood Estates, and Lakeside Terrace.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites scattered across the ridges, including Bentley Ridge Cem near Rose Hollow and Maynard Cem further south. The map preserves the traditional names of the rugged terrain, such as Bean Bluff and Goodall Hollow, while documenting the evolving infrastructure of public spaces like Fawn Park. These features together illustrate the transition from a remote upland farming area to a settled lakeside community.
