About this map

The Ohio River frontage defines this 2022 topographic map of the border between Kentucky and Illinois, showing a landscape shaped by both water and mining. The river is the central artery, passing Sturgeon Island and the landmark Battery Rock, while the inland terrain is marked by the industrial history of the Dodge Hills and Paris Hills. Significant settlements like Dekoven and Caseyville are depicted alongside smaller hamlets such as Grangertown and Henshaw.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the density of burial grounds, including Saint Ambrose Cem, Bells Mines Cem, and Hobbs Cem. The name Davis Mines Rd serves as a reminder of the region's coal legacy. To the south, the map reaches into the northern edge of the Shawnee National Forest, where the relief shifts toward Panther Hollow and Buckhart Hollow, providing a clear view of the natural breaks in the hills.
