Rush

Rush, Arkansas is an abandoned mining town on the shores of the Buffalo National River. It began being mined for its high grade zinc carbonate in the late 1800s, even producing the largest chunk of zinc ever mined in North America at 12,750 pounds. The town boomed for a time, becoming the largest city in North Arkansas with over 5,000 people. It played a major part in producing high-quality zinc during World War I, but when the war finally ended, the town died shortly after. Only a few buildings remain at Rush, but the hillsides are still honeycombed with abandoned mines.
