About this map

Kings River carves a winding path through this corner of Madison County, framing a landscape defined by prominent peaks and narrow valleys. The settlement of Kingston sits near the confluence of several streams, including Sweden Creek and the river, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural highlands. To the northwest, the community of Purdy rests near Purdy Mtn, while Loy occupies the southern reaches near Parson Hill. The distribution of family-named landmarks, such as Slaven Mtn, McArthur Mtn, and Yates Mtn, reflects generations of local history and land ownership across these ridges.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites documented here, including the Kingston Cem, Big Sandy Church Cem, and the Parker - Boydston Cem. The rugged geography is further detailed by features like Ribbon Ridge and Maxwell Hollow, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Ozark plateau. Modern additions like the Ozark Skies Airpark near Reynolds Mtn contrast with the long-established network of county roads that navigate the hollows.
