1968 Map of Nimrod Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Nimrod Lake dominates the landscape at the boundary of Yell and Perry Counties, its waters controlled by the dam and monitored by a Gaging Station. This survey captures the transition of the Fourche River valley into a managed recreational and conservation zone during the late 1960s. High ground is defined by Mason Ridge and Ola Mountain to the north, while the Ouachita Mountains rise to the south, featuring a Lookout Tower atop Cove Mountain. Settlement is concentrated at Fourche Junction, where road networks converge near the dam's outflow. To the south along the South Fourche La Fave River, evidence of rural community life persists at Valley Home Ch and the Ark Sch. The map also delineates extensive public lands including the Nimrod State Game Management Area and various shoreline parks such as Quarry Cove Recreation Area.
