About this map

Kingston serves as a focal point for this section of Madison County, where the valley floor meets the high ridges of the Ozarks. The community is situated along the banks of the Kings River, which winds through the terrain alongside several named heights including Bradshaw Mtn and Jones Mtn. Further west, the settlement of Purdy sits near the base of Purdy Mtn, marking a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and numerous hollows.

Genealogical interest is high in this area due to the preservation of several local burial grounds, including the Kingston Cem, Loy Cem, and the Parker-Boydston Cem. The presence of Ozark Skies Airpark near the southern settlement of Loy indicates modern small-craft aviation footprints within this traditional rural setting. The map detail highlights an intricate network of local roads, such as Co RD 2600 and Madison 2800, which navigate the steep rises of Ribbon Ridge and Phillips Mtn.
