1976 Map of Parma

About this map

The Middle Fork Little Red River meanders through the deeply dissected landscape of north-central Arkansas in this mid-1970s orthophotograph. The settlement of Parma serves as the primary upland landmark in a region defined by narrow ridges and steep-walled valleys. The southwestern portion of the sheet reveals the upper reaches of Greers Ferry Lake, showing the impact of the reservoir on the local hydrology. This orthophotoquad, prepared from aerial photography taken in January 1976, provides an unfiltered view of the timbered hills and clearing patterns that characterized the area during this era. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this imagery captures the exact footprint of small agricultural clearings and forested corridors as they stood before further modern development.
