About this map

The White River carves a winding path through this Marion County landscape, anchored by the massive Bull Shoals Dam and the waters of Bull Shoals Lake. The topography is defined by sharp river bends that isolate landforms like Cane Island and Bayless Island, creating a unique riparian environment. The transportation network reflects the river's influence, with established crossing points such as Dews Ford and numerous landings, including Mooneys Landing and McBee Landing, which serve as vital access points for river traffic and recreation.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial sites across the region, including Burch Cemetery in Flippin and Hurst Cemetery to the southwest. The presence of multiple aviation facilities, such as Gastons Airport and the Marion County Regional Airport, underscores the area's development as a regional hub. Significant terrain features like Bull Shoals Mountain and Trimble Flat overlook the river, while established communities like Cotter and Lakeview mark the steady growth of this Arkansas river corridor.
