About this map

The town of Dugger serves as the hub of this 1960s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by industrial extraction and rail transport. Significant Strip Mine operations and numerous Mine Dumps characterize the terrain, especially south and west of the main settlement. The Pennsylvania Railroad and Illinois Central Railroad provide the backbone for this economy, connecting coal resources to broader markets.

Genealogists and local historians can locate many rural burial sites and landmarks, such as Woodward Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Long Chapel. To the south, the Greene-Sullivan State Forest occupies land reshaped by previous mining, now featuring several man-made bodies of water like Narrow Lake and T Lake. Smaller settlements like Cass, Farnsworth, and Jericho are scattered throughout, often appearing near the intersections of local arteries like Base Line Road.
