About this map

Norfork Lake dominates the landscape of north-central Arkansas in this 2011 survey, its deeply indented shoreline creating a network of peninsulas and sheltered coves. The area is characterized by numerous landings and small settlements that cater to the lake’s recreational and residential character, including Diamond Bay, Holiday Hills, and Timber Lake Manor. At the southern edge of the sheet, the Norfork Dam regulates the water, flanked by the Norfork National Fish Hatchery and Quarry Landing.

Inland, the terrain rises toward local high points like Flint Knob and Wolf Knob, while transportation is defined by winding routes such as County RD-93 and Hand Cove RD. Smaller tributaries, including Diamond Creek and Float Creek, feed into the larger reservoir. Aviation access is provided by The Bluffs Airport, situated on a plateau overlooking the water near Woods Point Landing. The map captures the specialized development pattern of Baxter County, where the infrastructure is closely tied to the topography of the reservoir.
