About this map

Norfork Lake dominates the southern half of this landscape, its complex shoreline carving deep into the Ozark Plateau. This contemporary view of northern Arkansas and southern Missouri shows the intricate network of ridges and hollows that define the border region. The community of Clarkridge and the high ground of Bentley Ridge sit among the primary drainages of East Pigeon Creek and Cedar Creek. The mapping reveals a rural landscape where modern roads like Calhan Cir and RS Ranch Rd intersect with the area's pioneer past.

Local history is anchored by several family-named landmarks and resting places, including Thacker Cem, Maynard Cem, and Quality Ridge Cem. These sites, along with terrain features like Rose Hollow and Bean Bluff, provide a clear picture of how topography has influenced settlement patterns near the state line. The map captures the current state of Howard Cove and the peninsula neighborhoods of Mallard Point and Teal Point, illustrating the intersection of residential growth and the lake's recreational geography.
