About this map

Zinc and Bergman anchor this survey of the northern Arkansas highlands, where the Boone and Marion county line passes through a landscape defined by deep hollows and narrow ridges. The settlement of Zinc sits at a junction of creek valleys and the W Sugarloaf Cr, reflecting the region's mineral-rich history with names like Lead Mine Hollow and Stillhouse Hollow. Small, family-named landmarks and rural institutions such as the New Test Church and the Jackson Cem appear throughout the hills, providing valuable data points for those tracing the lineage of Ozark families.

The topography is intricately carved by water, featuring numerous named springs including Elixir Springs, Sulfur Springs, and Alcohol Spring. The drainage patterns of Crooked Creek and Sugar Orchard Cr dictate the winding routes of local roads like Zinc Rd and Lead Hill Rd. These geographic features, combined with isolated peaks like Pine Mtn and Pilot Knob, illustrate a persistent pattern of rural life that has maintained its character for generations.
