1916 Map of Equality
USGS Topo · Published 1916About this map
The Saline River winds across this Southern Illinois landscape, providing a primary corridor for the village of Equality. This 1913-1914 survey captures a rural economy deeply integrated with its geography, where narrow hollows like Maher Hill Hollow and Caplin Vineyard Hollow separate prominent heights including Eagle Creek Mountain and the Wildcat Hills. The map serves as a detailed record of early twentieth-century industry, showing the location of the Illinois Furnace, Lees Mines, and the Pierce Mines, alongside essential local processing sites like Wolrab Mill. A dense network of one-room schoolhouses, such as Pisgah School and Clover Glen School, indicates the distribution of rural family life across the county lines of Saline, Gallatin, Pope, and Hardin.
