STS068-167-00U Northwest Arkansas, U.S.A. October 1994
Two serpentine lakes, Beaver Lake (closer to center) and Table Rock Lake (near top center) are obvious in the rugged, forested landscape of northwest Arkansas. This synoptic photograph includes Fayetteville, Springdale, and Rogers whose highly reflective urban areas can be identified along north-south-oriented U.S. Highway 71, southeast of which are the generally east-west-trending Boston Mountains. The extensive dark landscape depicts heavily forested terrain.
