About this map

Carrier Mills serves as the primary population center in this 2015 study of the Saline County landscape, where the town’s street grid meets the industrial infrastructure of the region. The map reflects a legacy of surface mining and resource extraction, with features like Pit 12 Rd and various ponds such as Cottonwood Pond and Open Pond indicating a heavily modified terrain. These water bodies, along with the Bankston Fork and South Fork Saline River, shape the rural character between small settlements like Delta and Dykersburg.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of numerous local burial grounds, including the Trout Family Cem, Ward Cem, and Barter Cem. The southern edge of the sheet transitions into the protected timberlands of the Shawnee National Forest, while the county line between Williamson Co and Saline Co bisects the western half. This survey provides a clear view of how modern transportation corridors like Il-13 have integrated with older local routes such as Black School Ln and Old Route 13.
