2012 Map of Pure Air

About this map

Ringo Point and the tiny settlement of Zig anchor this rural landscape in western Adair County, where a network of gravel roads and creek valleys defines the local geography. The area's history is tied closely to small-scale extraction and early commerce, evidenced by the central concentration of Mines and the presence of the Zig Post Office in the southern reaches. The map is particularly rich in genealogical data, preserving the locations of numerous family-named burial grounds including Broyles Cemetery, Daniels Cemetery, and Pratt Cemetery. A complex drainage system of named waterways like Hog Creek, Little Mussel Creek, and Billy Creek feeds into the local topography, while human engineering is visible at the Mononame 9 Reservoir and Eschman Lake Dam.
