About this map

The Kings River carves a deep path through the Ozark landscape on this recent survey of the border between Carroll and Madison Counties. Near the northern edge, the edge of Eureka Springs gives way to a network of steep hollows and ridges, including Williams Hollow and Hollingsworth Hollow. The central portion of the map is defined by the winding river corridor, where the Kings River Deckhouse Trail follows the water's edge near Mason Bend.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered around the settlement of Rockhouse, which features the Rockhouse Cemetery and sits near the mouth of Rockhouse Creek. The terrain is characterized by named ridges and peaks such as Trigger Mountain, Pension Mountain, and Stanley Mountain. Aviation history is represented by the Trigger Gap Airport situated on the high ground of Trigger Gap, while rural land use is reflected in the many named hollows like Blowing Spring Hollow and Wildcat Hollow that drain into the larger river system.
