USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Indiana coalfields of Knox County define this 1941 landscape, where the dense concentration of extraction sites around Bicknell illustrates the height of the region's mining era. A network of pits and shafts, including the Sunshine Mine, North Side Mine, and Lynn Mine, surrounds the town, connected by the Pennsylvania railroad. This industrial activity contrasts with the agricultural patterns further north near Freelandville, where small country landmarks like Bethel Ch and Walker Cem indicate a long-established rural community.
