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 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.
