About this map

Zinc sits at the heart of this landscape along the Boone Co and Marion Co border, where a complex network of springs and hollows defines the terrain. The naming conventions of the region, such as Lead Mine Hollow and Stillhouse Hollow, speak to the historical resource extraction and local homesteading practices of the Ozark plateau. Water sources are abundant, from the Elixir Springs in the north to Crooked Creek in the south, which historically dictated the placement of settlements like Keener and Winington.

Family history is preserved through several small burial grounds including Jackson Cem, Deshield Cem, and White Oak Cem, often located near prominent landforms like Pine Mtn or Pilot Knob. The winding road system, featuring routes like Wagon Wheel Rd and Morgan Cave Rd, follows the natural drainage patterns of creeks like Sugar Orchard Cr, illustrating how the topography has shaped movement through this section of Arkansas for generations.
