1963 Map of Johnston City

About this map

Johnston City serves as the focal point of this Southern Illinois landscape, which is heavily defined by the coal extraction industry of the mid-20th century. Large-scale mining operations like the Ziegler No 4 Mine and Freeman No 4 Mine anchor the eastern side of the survey, while extensive Strip Mine workings and a large Tailings Pond mark the surrounding terrain. This industrial footprint is interspersed with small, distinct settlements such as White Ash, Fergestown, and the colorfully named Dog Walk and Shakerag.
