1980 Map of Narrows Dam

About this map

Lake Greeson dominates this orthophotographic study, its serpentine arms and numerous inlets reaching deep into the timbered terrain of Pike County. Captured through aerial photography in early 1980, the map illustrates the complex relationship between the managed reservoir and the surrounding highlands. The Narrows Dam stands at the southern end of the lake, regulating the flow of the Little Missouri River as it continues its course downstream. To the north, the small settlements of Daisy and Kirby appear as modest clearings and road junctions within the dense forest cover. This map is particularly useful for visualizing the specific shoreline contours and land use patterns of the era, combining traditional 1969 land lines with rectified photoimagery to show the exact footprint of human habitation against the Arkansas landscape.
