About this map

Rockhouse and the southeastern outskirts of Eureka Springs anchor this detailed study of the borderlands between Carroll and Madison counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Kings River, which creates distinctive geological features such as Mason Bend and Flower Pot Point. This river-driven topography is etched with numerous hollows, including Hollingsworth Hollow, Wildcat Hollow, and Scotland Hollow, suggesting a long history of isolated homesteads and timber access in the Ozark backcountry.

Evidence of established community life appears in the presence of the Rockhouse Cem and Shady Grove Cem, providing critical points of reference for genealogists tracing local families. Transportation and infrastructure are represented by State Hwy 221 and the Trigger Gap Airport, while the high ground of Turkey Wing Ridge and Mill Ridge offers a clear picture of the area's complex drainage patterns into Rockhouse Creek and Keels Creek.
