1962 Map of Neck City

About this map

Neck City and the surrounding mining district of Jasper County are documented here in the early 1960s, showing a landscape heavily modified by lead and zinc extraction. Prominent Tailings piles and numerous Mines are clustered south of the North Fork Spring River, particularly near the Old Railroad Grade. This industrial footprint contrasts with the agricultural character of the northern half of the map, where small settlements like Cossville and Nashville persist near the Barton County line.
