Zinc, Mining settlement in Boone County, Arkansas
The town sits at an elevation of 268 meters in the Ozark region, with Sugar Orchard Creek running through its 0.752 square miles territory.
Lead and zinc mining operations started in 1890 when Elias Barham claimed the land, established a general store, and began extracting minerals from small mines.
The Elliott and Anna Barham House, built by the town's founding family, stands as a registered National Historic Site representing early settlement architecture.
The current population numbers 92 residents as of 2020, with the nearest larger city being Harrison, located approximately nine miles to the west.
A pedestrian swinging bridge, constructed after the flood of 1927, remains preserved as a National Historic Site and spans across Sugar Orchard Creek.
