The rolling uplands of the Ozark Plateau define the setting of Loma Linda — gentle rises, woodland and open ground give this small Newton County city the character of southwest Missouri’s inland border country. Southwest of Joplin and close to the Kansas line, Loma Linda belongs to the Four-State Area, the regional corner where Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas converge. The growth of nearby Joplin was driven by lead and zinc mining in the late 19th century, a legacy that remains central to the wider area’s story.
