About this map

Extensive mining operations dominate the western landscape of this mid-1980s Saline County survey, marked by numerous Mine sites, Tailings Ponds, and a large Mine Dump near Bryant. The industrial character of the region is further defined by the Bauxite & Northern RR and several water treatment facilities. Despite this industrial footprint, established communities like Woodland Hills and Shannon Hills sit alongside rural outposts such as Sardis and Vimy Ridge.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local churches and burial grounds, including the China Grove Cemeteries and McPherson Cemetery. The terrain is shaped by Alexander Mountain and a complex drainage system featuring Hurricane Creek and Brier Lick Branch. Cultural landmarks range from the local High Sch and Middle Sch in the town center to the Alexander Radio Tower atop the heights, providing a clear picture of the area's development during this era.
