USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Alto Pass and Cobden anchor this 1940s landscape, illustrating the rail-oriented development of southern Illinois. The Illinois Central Gulf railroad threads through the terrain, connecting industrial points like Mountain Glen and the clay-mining settlement of Kaolin. High elevation points such as the Bald Knob Lookout Tower dominate the western portion of the quadrangle within the Shawnee National Forest, providing a stark contrast to the agricultural valleys.
