1936 Map of Herrin
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The Big Muddy River and its numerous tributaries, including the Little Muddy River and Crab Orchard Creek, dominate this portion of Southern Illinois during the mid-1930s. This survey, revised by R.B. Marshall and his team, reveals a landscape densely populated with small coal-era settlements and a complex network of railroads like the Illinois Central and the Coal Belt. The distribution of rural schools, such as Highbank School and Arkansas School, alongside churches like Williams Church, reflects the established farming and mining communities of the time.
