About this map

Norfork Lake dominates this landscape, its dendritic shoreline winding through the Ozark borderlands where Arkansas and Missouri meet. The irregular arms of the reservoir submerge old valley floors, leaving former high points like Turkey Knob and ridges overlooking the water. Small settlements and landings serve as focal points for the community, including the village of Gamaliel, which remains a key hub with its Gamaliel Post Office and nearby Gamaliel Cemetery.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds preserved across the terrain, from County Line Cemetery in the north to Custer-Herron Cemetery in the south. The road network, including the appropriately named Stateline Rd, traces the high ridges between drainage basins like Bennetts Bayou and Walker Branch. These routes connect dispersed homesteads and landings such as Talbert Landing and Bidwell Point, illustrating the post-dam settlement patterns of the early 21st century.
