The Herrin coal region of Southern Illinois is defined by a dense web of industrial infrastructure at the turn of the century. This survey documents the intersection of numerous rail lines, including the Coal Belt RR, Illinois Central RR, and the Southern Ry, which serviced the burgeoning mining towns of Christopher, Zeigler, and Carterville. The landscape is a mix of these busy industrial junctions and established rural institutions, such as Miner Church and Bluegrass School.
