About this map

The Kings River carves a winding path through this Madison County landscape, defining the topography around the settlement of Kingston. This 2011 survey documents a rural environment where community life is anchored by small clusters like Purdy and Loy. The mapping of family and community heritage is evident in the inclusion of several burial grounds, including the Parker-Boydston Cemetery, Upper Campground Cemetery, and Kingston Cemetery.

Transportation is dominated by a network of rural routes such as Flarity's Rd and numerous Madison County roads that navigate the high ground of Purdy Mountain, Jones Mountain, and Ribbon Ridge. The drainage patterns of Big Onion Creek, Wharton Creek, and Sweden Creek illustrate the dissected nature of the terrain. This record provides a clear look at the residential and agricultural footprint of the area before modern development altered these Ozark foothills.
