About this map

Greers Ferry Lake dominates the center of this landscape, its irregular shoreline creating a complex network of bays and inlets that redefined the geography of Van Buren Co and Cleburne Co. The map reveals how local communities adapted to the water, with the Edgemont Bridge spanning the narrow channel near Edgemont. Modern residential developments like Whispering Springs and Skypoint Estates Airport illustrate the area's transition into a recreational and residential hub.

Beyond the lake's edge, the terrain rises into sharp relief at Pryor Mtn and Wilburn Knob. Older layers of local history are preserved in names like Bailey Cem and numerous named hollows, including Eva Turnley Hollow and Jake Hollow. This 2017 survey documents a landscape where the infrastructure of modern leisure, such as Verser's Landing and Bondair Airport, exists alongside the rugged topography of the Ozark foothills.
