Harrisburg and its industrial satellites anchor this 1920s survey of southern Illinois, where the confluence of coal and rail shaped the landscape. Evidence of the region’s mining economy is clear at Wasson Mine No 2, while the Illinois Central Railroad and Chicago Cleveland Cincinnati and St Louis Railway provide the vital connections between settlements like Carrier Mills and Ledford. The terrain shifts from the developed rail corridors in the north to more complex topography in the south, characterized by features such as Murray Bluff and Buzzardroost Hollow.
