About this map

The White River and Buffalo River corridors dominate this Marion County landscape, recorded before mid-century dam projects altered the Ozark waterways. This survey reflects a river-and-rail economy where ferries and shoals served as critical transit points across the winding bends of the White River. Prominent crossings such as Keesee Ferry, Whites Ferry, and Denton Ferry are noted alongside river landmarks like Ma Bee Landing and Hog Thief Bend.

Upland from the river valleys, the settlement patterns of Yellville, Flippin, and Cotter are established along the St Louis and North Arkansas railroad line. The map highlights numerous smaller communities such as Dodd City, Lead Hill, and the mining-related settlement of Rush. Higher elevations like Lee MTN and Halls MTN rise above the drainage basins of Sugarloaf Cr and Music Cr, providing a detailed look at the rural geography of north-central Arkansas in the late 1920s.
