Cotter is in north
central Arkansas on a major east-west route, U.S. Highway 412/62. Perched
above the White River's banks on a cliff, the town catches
the eye of travelers from a scenic overlook on Highway 412.
Serving the local traffic and outlying communities are State
Highways 126, 178, and 345.
The river enfolds Cotter on three
sides and provides its recreational and occupational lifeblood.

Cotter Receives Four Star Award
Cotter was one of 26 Arkansas cities to receive the Four Star Municipality
Award for demonstrating excellence in loss control management during
the past year. The award covered employee safety, wellness, vehicle
safety, and prevention of legal liability.
Mayor Elwood Moseley accepted the award when he attended the Arkansas
Municipal League Convention in June at Hot Springs.
The Municipal League said cities which win this award help their
towns save money through lower program rates, have healthier employees,
and save other costs. The award indicates that the city had no losses
the previous year.
