About this map

The Kings River carves a deep valley through this portion of Madison County, framing the small communities of Kingston and Purdy. This area of the Ozarks is defined by a series of prominent peaks and hollows, including McArthur Mtn, Horine Mtn, and the distinctive Ribbon Ridge. The settlement pattern follows the water and the valley floors, where the Kings River meets tributaries like Sweden Cr and Maxwell Cr.

Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds such as Kingston Cem, Loy Cem, and the Upper Campground Cem. The map reveals the intricate network of county roads that navigate the complex elevation, connecting family-named landmarks like McKnight Hollow and Rogers Hollow to the main thoroughfares of Ar-21 and Ar-74. The presence of the Ozark Skies Airpark near Loy illustrates the modern adaptation of this traditional mountain landscape.
