About this map

The White River winds through Baxter County, forming a deep valley bordered by prominent features like Red Bluff and White Bluff. This landscape is defined by the confluence of the North Fork River near the town of Norfork, where the North Fork Bridge connects local transport routes. The area is characterized by a series of named hollows and ridges, such as Shipp Hollow and Goat Ridge, which underscore the complexity of the Ozark foothills.

Settlements like Salesville, Arkana, and Lone Rock serve as community centers, with numerous cemeteries including Arkana Cem, Lone Rock Cem, and the uniquely named Burnt School House Cem providing vital points of interest for genealogists. Large portions of the terrain are preserved within the Ozark National Forest, maintaining a landscape where traditional names like Wild Hog Mtn and Matney Knob persist alongside a network of creeks like Coldwater Cr and Walker Cr.
