USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Reed Mines dominate the northwestern landscape of this Illinois quadrangle, showing the extensive earth-moving and water-filled pits of the local coal industry. This industrial footprint is bordered by the Gulf Mobile and Ohio and Norfolk and Western railroads, which helped facilitate the region's transport network. The village of Essex serves as a central hub, while smaller clusters like Godley, Torino, and Clarke City highlight the scattered settlement patterns typical of this mining and agricultural district.
