About this map

Bull Shoals Lake dominates this northern Arkansas landscape, its winding shoreline creating a complex network of points and bluffs along the White River system. The 2014 survey reveals a region shaped by both the reservoir and rugged topography, where small settlements like Midway and Pine Branch serve as focal points for local residents. The area's aviation history is visible through facilities such as Totty Field Airport and the Pine Mountain Airpark, reflecting the lake's importance for recreational and residential access.

Deeply incised hollows like Stallion Hollow and Keystone Hollow cut through the high ridges of Linley Ridge and Wilkerson Ridge, illustrating the challenging terrain that dictates the road patterns. Along the water, distinctive landforms such as Ozark Isle and Wilson Bluff provide clear landmarks for navigation. This record captures the modern intersection of traditional Ozark topography with contemporary recreational infrastructure, from the Aux Arc Trl to the numerous county roads winding through the timbered slopes.
