About this map

Corinth serves as a major regional crossroads in the early 1980s, defined by the intersection of the Southern and Illinois Central Gulf Railroad lines. The urban landscape is densely detailed, featuring the Courthouse, City Hall, and the expansive National Cem. This period shows the city expanding toward North Corinth and Ruslor Junction, with essential infrastructure like Magnolia Hospital and the Voc-Tech Sch supporting the growing population.

Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural homesteads and family landmarks. The drainage of the Tuscumbia River Canal and Cane Creek dominates the lowlands, while higher ground is marked by numerous country churches and burial grounds, including Old Mt Carmel Ch and its namesake Old Mt Carmel Cem. The presence of a Sewage Disposal Pond and Industrial Waste Pond reflects the era's municipal and industrial management near the city's southern periphery.
