About this map

Mountain Home serves as the regional hub in this mid-1960s landscape, which shows the town's expansion toward the fingers of Norfork Lake. The eastern shoreline of the lake is defined by recreation and access points like Buzzard Roost Landing and Traceys Landing, alongside the Panther Bay Public Use Area. This survey reflects a transition between established agricultural uplands and a growing reservoir-based economy.

Local history is preserved in a network of small landmarks such as Oakland Ch, Oak Grove Ch, and several family or community burial grounds, including Old Oakland Cem and Heart Cem. The terrain is characterized by winding creek beds like Hicks Creek and Panther Creek, which feed into the larger reservoir system. Significant topographical markers like Bald Heart mountain and the settlement at Salesville anchor the southern portion of the sheet.
