About this map

The White River carves a deep, serpentine path through the Ozark landscape, defining the boundary between Marion and Baxter counties. This 2014 survey documents the region as a hub of aviation and river recreation, anchored by the Marion County Regional Airport and the sprawling waters of Bull Shoals Lake. The topography is marked by steep elevations like Lee Mtn and Bull Shoals Mtn, which drop sharply into the river valley where Cane Island and Bayless Island sit within the current.

Settlements such as Flippin, Cotter, and Gassville are clustered along the southern transit corridors of Us-412 and Us-62 E. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Hurst Cem, Flippin Cem, and Jenkins Cem. The presence of several landing strips, including Gastons Airport and The Valley Airport, highlights the area's modern reliance on light aircraft to navigate the winding river bends and forested plateaus.
