About this map

Zinc and the surrounding Ozark landscape define this 2011 survey of Boone County. The area’s historical mining industry is clearly visible through sites like the Madison Mine near Madison Hollow and the Jackpot Mine further east. These labels offer a concrete link to the extraction history of the region, where numerous hollows and knobs provided the complex topography for local development.

Settlement patterns remain dispersed, anchored by smaller locales such as Keener and Winington, and connected by a network of rural roads like Zinc Rd and Tar Kiln Rd. Waterways such as Crooked Creek and Sugar Orchard Creek carve through the terrain, while family and community history is preserved in several scattered burial grounds, including White Oak Cemetery and the Richardson Cemetery. The naming of features like Stillhouse Hollow and Lead Mine Hollow hints at the specific local activities that have shaped this portion of Arkansas over generations.
