About this map

The White River winds through the heart of north-central Arkansas, defining the boundary between Marion and Baxter counties as it flows past the established settlements of Cotter and Flippin. This corridor is characterized by its reliance on the river and the massive Bull Shoals Lake to the northwest, which is hemmed in by Bull Shoals Mtn. Local aviation is well-represented by multiple facilities, including the Marion County Regional Airport and The Valley Airport, alongside Gastons Airport situated right on the riverbank.

Genealogists will find several burial sites recorded across the landscape, such as Fairview Cem, Jenkins Cem, and Burch Cem near Flippin. The presence of Bayless Island and Cane Island in the river, along with tributary crossings like Fallen Ash Creek and Jenkins Branch, illustrates the complex hydrology of the region. Nearby Gassville and Lakeview further anchor the residential and commercial layout of this Ozark plateau area.
