USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The industrial coal-mining landscape of southern Illinois is deeply etched across this 1968 study, centered on the growing hub of Herrin. In this era, the region's economy is visibly tied to the Chicago Burlington and Quincy and Illinois Central railroads, which weave between numerous extractive sites like the Tailings Pond and various Mine Dumps. Smaller mining settlements such as Dewmaine, Colp, and Bush are scattered around the periphery, reflecting a decentralized worker housing pattern common to the Illinois coal fields.
