The Illinois Central Gulf railroad cuts through the northern timberlands of Scott County, serving small whistle-stops and settlements like Raworth and Kalem. Much of the landscape is defined by the Bienville National Forest, where the terrain transitions from the rolling uplands of Spencer Hill down to the drainage basins of the Strong River and Tallabogue. Small rural communities and family-named landmarks are scattered throughout the forest, including Frogtown and Hunter Town, indicating a pattern of dispersed settlement typical of this region in the early 1980s.
