1979 Map of Cotter NW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Bull Shoals Lake dominates this orthophotomap, showing the dendritic shoreline of the reservoir as it appeared in the late 1970s. This aerial perspective, produced in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, provides a detailed look at the interface between the wooded uplands and the submerged river valleys of the White River system. The small settlement of Midway is visible in the southern portion of the quadrangle, situated along the ridges above the rising water. The imagery reveals the intricate pattern of fingers and coves that characterize this portion of northern Arkansas, where the landscape was fundamentally altered by mid-century dam projects. Researchers can examine the road patterns and land use surrounding the lake, tracing how the local infrastructure adapted to the reservoir's complex geography.
