1972 Map of Cotter NW

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Bull Shoals Lake dominates this terrain along the border of Arkansas and Missouri, where the impounded waters of the White River have transformed the landscape into a complex of deep coves and winding shorelines. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the map reveals the relationship between the reservoir and the older landforms of the Ozarks, such as Buzzards Bluff and Cane Bottom Bluff. While much of the low-lying ground was inundated after 1941, upland settlements like Midway and Linley remain as markers of the area's ongoing habitation. Traces of local industry and natural resources appear in features like the Coal Pit near the southern margin and Missouri Spring near the state line. The map also highlights early recreational development following the dam's construction, noting the Oakland Public Use Area and the Ozark Isle Public Use Area nestled within Barnes Bay.
