New aerial imagery has captured the massive Arkansas River Valley flood, which shattered records that stood for decades in Oklahoma and Arkansas.

Maxar Technologies released images Wednesday along the Arkansas River from northwest of Little Rock to near Fort Smith that show the river at or near its crest in several locations.

The river crested over 2.5 feet above its previous record from April 16, 1945, at Van Buren, Arkansas.

In the image above, the highway crossing the river from Fort Smith into Oklahoma is U.S. 64. You can see an extensive area on the Oklahoma side of the river flooded, including all roads leading into and out of Moffett, Oklahoma.

Maxar also published zoomed-in images of Moffett, population 128 as of the 2010 census.

Downstream, aerial imagery captured the extent of flooding near Morrilton and Conway, Arkansas, not just near the river itself, but also north of Conway near Beaver Fork Lake.

The Lollie Levee guarding Conway Municipal Airport and the far west side of the city of Conway was holding as of June 5, KARK-TV reported.

Record river crests were set at both Dardanelle and Morrilton. The record in Morrilton had stood since the April 1927 flood, near the end of the presidency of Calvin Coolidge.

Another eye-opening zoomed-in image combination showed a number of properties inundated on the west bank of the Arkansas River near the Toad Suck Lock and Dam, just west of Conway.

Before this flood, May 1990 was the flood of record at this location.

Zooming out, the swollen Arkansas River stood out as a brown ribbon against the forested surroundings of northwest Arkansas in NASA high-resolution satellite imagery.

NASA imagery also shows the swollen Arkansas River in northern and eastern Oklahoma.

Several swollen reservoirs – Keystone Lake, Skiatook Lake and Oologah Lake north and west of Tulsa – showed up as larger-than-normal brown branches in aerial imagery.

The Arkansas River near Ponca City, Oklahoma, and Bird Creek at Avant, Oklahoma, also set a record crests during this flood event.
