About this map

Industrial land use and rural settlement patterns intersect across the borders of Henry and St. Clair Counties in this mid-century survey. Large-scale Strip Mine operations dominate the northwestern landscape, with substantial areas designated as Reclaimed Area indicating the early stages of post-mining environmental recovery. This industrial activity contrasts sharply with the established agrarian community structures evidenced by scattered landmarks like Tenya Chapel, Harmony Cem, and the Community Hall.

The transportation network is defined by the Missouri - Kansas - Texas railroad corridor and a private Landing Strip, reflecting the varied logistical needs of the era. Natural features such as The Mound and the elevations of Golden Ridge rise above the drainage systems of Bear Creek and Ricky Creek. The small settlement of Ditty remains a distinct point of interest for local historians, situated amidst the township divisions of Deepwater, Appleton, and Monegaw.
