Who is Magness named for?

The town is named for Colonel Morgan Magness and his son William Denton Magness, early settlers who helped secure the railroad's right-of-way.

Do sinkholes and flood zones affect homes in north and northeast Arkansas?

The Springfield Plateau is underlain by Boone Formation limestone where solution and collapse sinkholes are abundant, and the Salem Plateau has sinkholes in its dolostones. The Mississippi Alluvial Plain is the flattest part of the state with often poorly drained soils. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover flood, so buyers should check a property's FEMA flood zone.
