1970 Map of Lithium

About this map

Saline Creek and its many tributaries, including South Fork Saline Creek, define the topography of this corner of Perry County during the early 1970s. The small settlement of Lithium sits near the eastern edge of the map, while Brewer serves as a local hub further south. A notable geological feature, the Ball Mill Resurgence, is documented alongside Blue Spring, highlighting the karst-influenced hydrology of the region. The map also records the infrastructure of the era, showing a major highway under construction across the landscape, cutting past an old railroad grade.
