Zanoni is an unincorporated community located in Ozark County, Missouri, on Route 181 about ten miles northeast of Gainesville. A watermill (doubling as a bed and breakfast) and a post office are all that remain of the community. The community was founded in 1898 and was named for the novel Zanoni by Edward Bulwer-Lytton.[2] The mill was built in 1905 as an overshot wheel mill by "Doc" Morrison and restored by his grandson.[3]
The mill is located where the Zanoni Spring arises from openings in the Roubidoux Formation, an Ordovician unit of mixed sandstone and dolostone.[4] The spring discharges at the base of a ridge above Pine Creek, a tributary of Caney Creek which discharges into Bryant Creek just above its intersection with North Fork River and Norfork Lake.[1] The discharge of the spring is 0.8 cubic feet per second (0.023 m3/s) or 500,000 US gallons (1,900,000 L) per day.[4]
