Marion County's
industries are centered mostly in and around Yellville, the county
seat. Among their products are shirts, plastic molding, nylon
hardware, fiberglass boats and electronics.
World renowned Ranger
Boats, founded by native son Forrest Wood, is also located here.
New industry
is attracted by abundant natural resources, including forests and
large lead deposits. An excellent transportation system includes US 62
& 412 (major highway across northern Arkansas), which intersects with
State 14 at Yellville. Both Marion County and Harrison, 28 miles west,
have airport terminals. Springfield, Missouri, is 90 miles north and
Little Rock, the state capital, is 135 miles south. |
