2017 Map of Nimrod Dam

About this map

Nimrod Dam controls the waters of Nimrod Lake in this section of the Ouachita National Forest, a landscape defined by the winding course of the South Fourche La Fave River. The settlement at Fourche Junction serves as a local crossroads near The Narrows, where the terrain transitions into the steep elevations of Chinquapin Mtn and Cove Mtn. The map reveals a network of rural routes such as Deimer Bluff Rd and Glenhaven Rd that navigate the ridges and hollows, including Long Hollow and the valley of Little Brushy Cr. Genealogists may find interest in the location of Carter Cem, situated near the western shoreline of the reservoir. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the Yell and Perry County border, where timberland and water management dominate the local geography.
