USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Herrin serves as the industrial and civic anchor of this Southern Illinois landscape during a period of urban expansion. The 1968 survey, updated in the late 1970s, captures the growth of the coal-rich area as purple-tinted extensions reach toward Energy and Sunnyside. A network of transportation corridors, including the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad and Burlington Northern, weave through a terrain dotted with numerous Mine Dumps, reflecting the regional reliance on the mining economy.
