About this map

Greers Ferry Lake dominates the center of this 1970s landscape, its sprawling waters and underwater contours reflecting the earlier transformation of the Little Red River valley. The map documents the region's mid-century shift toward recreation and residential development, evidenced by established marinas like Narrows Marina and Shiloh Marina, alongside growing communities like Fairfield Bay and Greers Ferry.

Deeply rooted family history remains visible in the surrounding hills, where places like Bailey Cemetery and rural congregations such as West Side Church and Lone Pine Church mark the older community nodes. The southern edge is defined by the steep rises of Pryor Mountain and Millers Point, while the Treaty Trail and various hollows like Eva Turnley Hollow hint at the original paths carved through this terrain long before the valley was inundated.
