The city of Forest serves as the focal point of this Scott County landscape, situated at the northern edge of the Bienville National Forest. In the early 1980s, the community's infrastructure was defined by the Illinois Central Gulf railroad and the Forest Municipal Airport, while the Bienville Pines Scenic Area preserved a pocket of native woodland. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural society scattered south of the city, where small settlements like Fikestown and Norris were anchored by numerous community churches, including High Hill Ch and Mars Hill Ch.
