Golconda and the Ohio River dominate the western edge of this landscape, where the Illinois and Kentucky borders meet. This modern survey illustrates the rugged topography of the Shawnee National Forest, defined by significant geological landmarks like Mantle Rock, Newmans Bluff, and Goodhope Bluff. The map records the persistence of rural heritage through family-named sites such as Dodd Hollow and early burial grounds including Lay Cem and Duley Bluff Cem.
