About this map

Nimrod Dam controls the flow of the Fourche LaFave River at the eastern edge of Nimrod Lake, shaping the hydrology of this Arkansas landscape. This 2011 survey illustrates a region defined by its rugged topography and complex drainage systems, where the main river is joined by numerous tributaries such as Brush Creek and Big Cove Creek. The settlement at Fourche Junction serves as a local hub near the dam and the prominent geological feature known as The Narrows.

Tracing the northern and southern boundaries reveals significant elevations at Ola Mountain, Chinquapin Mountain, and Cove Mountain. These heights overlook the broad valley of the South Fourche LaFave River, while local history is marked by the presence of Carter Cemetery near the lake's western reaches. The map details a network of rural roads, including Glenhaven Rd and several county routes, which navigate the gaps and branches of the Ouachita foothills.
