Industrial strip mining and a complex network of rail lines define this Indiana landscape at the dawn of the 1960s. The city of Brazil anchors the southeastern corner, serving as a hub where the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio railroads converge. Numerous Strip Mines are cut into the terrain, particularly around Coal Bluff and Fontanet, revealing the intensive coal extraction of the era. This activity is interwoven with rural family life, evidenced by a dense distribution of country churches and schools such as Sharon Ch and Bee Ridge Sch.
