1916 Map of Equality
USGS Topo · Published 1916About this map
Equality serves as the focal point for this Southern Illinois landscape, situated at a bend in the Saline River where the Louisville and Nashville railroad cuts through the terrain. The map reveals an early industrial footprint defined by salt and mineral resources, including the Illinois Furnace and scattered mining operations like Pierce Mines and Lees Mine. Settlement patterns follow the elevation of the Wildcat Hills and the winding course of Eagle Creek, with a dense network of country schools such as Kedron School and Jones School serving the agrarian and mining families of the era.
