2011 Map of Gillham Dam

About this map

Gillham Dam serves as the central landmark in this 2011 survey of western Arkansas, where the Cossatot River is fed by numerous tributaries including Striklin Creek and Coon Creek. This modern cartographic record captures a landscape defined by water management and rural crossings, preserving the location of local crossing points such as Three Shoot Ford and Ladd Ford. The road network is dense with named forest and county routes like Gillham Lake Rd, reflecting the area's ongoing use for timber or recreation near the reservoir. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint long-established sites such as the Cossatot Cemetery and Old New Hope Cemetery, alongside traditional river landmarks like Clinton Ford and Flanagan Ford, providing a clear view of how the modern infrastructure overlays older rural patterns.
