2011 Map of Norfork Dam South

About this map

The Norfork Dam anchors the northwest corner of this landscape, regulating the North Fork River and creating the southern reaches of Norfork Lake. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the White River and its numerous tributaries, including Moccasin Creek and Tan Trough Creek. This survey details several small settlements and rural nodes, such as Jordan, Hopewell, and Iuka, which are connected by a network of county roads. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds throughout the area, including Hand Cemetery, Moody Cemetery, and Talley Cemetery. Distinctive landmarks like Naked Joe Knob and Schinette Hollow provide specific geographical context to the north of the White River, while the presence of the Jordan Post Office and Goodman Spring mark established points of local activity and resources.
