USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
The Galena River and its numerous tributaries, including Diggins Cr and Ellis Br, carve through the driftless landscape of Lafayette County. This map documents a region deeply rooted in the nineteenth-century mining rush, centered around settlements like New Diggings and Lead Mine. The persistence of these small communities, alongside Etna and White Oak, illustrates a rural settlement pattern that has endured long after the height of the mineral extraction era.
