Creal Springs and New Burnside anchor this mid-1960s study of the southern Illinois landscape, where the ridges of the Shawnee Hills dictate the path of historical transportation. The rugged topography is most evident along Burnside Ridge and Tunnel Hill, a name shared by both a prominent landform and a small settlement. The influence of steam and steel is visible through the Illinois Central Railroad and the remnants of the New York Central Railroad Grade, which navigate the elevation changes alongside Sugar Creek and Cedar Creek.
