1970 Map of Lithium

About this map

Lithium and St Marys anchor this landscape along the border of Perry and Ste. Genevieve counties, where the high ground of the Saline township meets the wide bottomlands of the Mississippi River. The map highlights a complex hydrogeological environment, most notably the Ball Mill Resurgence and the winding course of South Fork Saline Creek. Evidence of earlier transport networks remains visible in the Old Giboney Railroad Grade, which contrasts with the active Burlington Northern line tracking the river.
