About this map

The Ozark National Forest and the Boston Mountains dominate this 1983 topographic study, revealing the complex drainage basins of north-central Arkansas. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Buffalo National River in the north and the expansive Greers Ferry Lake to the southeast. Major road corridors including US Highway 65 and State Highway 9 connect established mountain communities like Marshall, Leslie, and Clinton.

Evidence of local development is visible through the Clinton School, Clinton Municipal Airport, and several small rural congregations such as Zion Hill Church and Pleasant Hill Church. While the Missouri Pacific Railroad cuts through the terrain, the prominence of resort and recreation areas like Fairfield Bay and Heber Springs near the lake indicates the region's mid-century shift toward a tourism-based economy. The map also delineates several protected areas, including the Gulf Mountain State Wildlife Management Area.
