About this map

Williams Hill and Womble Mountain anchor this survey of the Shawnee National Forest region, where the terrain is marked by deep hollows and high points. The settlement of Herod sits at a central crossroads, while smaller hamlets like Hartsville and Hicks serve as local landmarks. The landscape is a haven for outdoor recreation, featuring the Garden of the Gods Recreation Area and the Pharaoh Camp and Picnic Area in the northeast.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds, including the Wallace Family Cem, Lambert Family Cem, and Paris Cem. The map also captures the legacy of local industry and navigation through features like Gaskin Mine Rd and the One Horse Gap Point of Interest. Numerous waterways, such as Big Grand Pierre Cr and Rose Cr, carve through the ridges, defining the region's physical character.
