About this map

Norfork Dam anchors the northwest corner of this Ozark landscape, where the waters of Norfork Lake give way to the White River valley. The map reveals a network of rural communities including Jordan, Salesville, Iuka, and Calico Rock, the latter situated along the river near the Calico Rock-Izard County Airport. The terrain is defined by deep hollows and high points like Naked Joe Knob, with much of the southern reach protected within the Ozark National Forest.

Settlement patterns follow the winding creek beds and ridges, as evidenced by numerous family and community cemeteries such as Galatia Cem, Moody Cem, and Wayland Arbor Cem. The intricate drainage of Moccasin Cr and Barren Fork illustrates the complex topography of the Baxter, Izard, and Stone County borders, while the presence of the White River highlights the historic importance of this water corridor to the region.
