In the southeast corner of Boone County, Highway 206 begins at US 65 southeast of Valley Springs and only 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of the Newton County line. The highway winds east through sparsely populated Ozark Mountain countryside to the small town of Everton. East of Everton, the Highway 206 designation (and thus state maintenance) ends at the Marion County line. The roadway continues east as Marion County Road 4019 (CR 4019).[8]
Section 3
A third segment of Highway 206 begins in rural Marion County at a junction with Highway 14 at the unincorporated community of Ralph. The highway runs east through rural Ozark Mountain countryside for 2.952 miles (4.751 km), when state maintenance ends approximately four miles (6.4 km) west of Rush and the Buffalo National River.[3] The roadway continues east as Marion CR 6022.[9]
