About this map

The White River carves a deep, winding path through the northern Arkansas landscape, defining the character of this region along the Marion Co Baxter Co boundary. The river’s sharp bends isolate landforms like Cane Island and Bayless Island, while modern infrastructure bridges the gap between the historic river-front town of Cotter and neighboring Gassville. Aviation history is well-represented here, with multiple facilities including Gastons Airport and the Marion County Regional Airport serving the area.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records preserved in numerous family and community sites such as Flippin Cem, Amos Cem, and the Burch Cem near Flippin. The northern reaches are dominated by the waters of Bull Shoals Lake and the high ground of Bull Shoals Mtn, illustrating the transition from natural river valley to a managed reservoir system. From the residential streets of Bull Shoals to the rural crossings near Fallen Ash Cr, the map documents a mix of 20th-century development and enduring Ozark landmarks.
