Norfork Lake dominates the southern half of this landscape, its intricate shoreline carving into the Ozark Plateau near the border of Arkansas and Missouri. The terrain is characterized by steep-sided drainages such as Bennetts Bayou and Bennetts River, which feed into the reservoir's north-reaching arms. Several small settlements anchor the local road network, including Gamaliel, Cumi, and the lakeside community of Henderson. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the ridges, including Gamaliel Cem, Fluty Cem, and the County Line Cem situated right on the boundary between Baxter and Fulton Counties. The map details a transition from the dense interior hollows like Powell Hollow and Walker Hollow to the developing vacation and residential areas of Norfork Lake Estates near Bidwell Point.
