About this map

The Big River carves a winding path through the northeast corner of this landscape, where the borders of Franklin, Jefferson, and Washington counties converge. In the early 1980s, the region was defined by a mix of heavy extractive industry and conservation, with the Little Indian Creek State Forest providing a significant preserve against the industrial footprint of local mining. The community of Richwoods serves as a central hub, surrounded by a complex system of Richwoods Tailings Ponds and active Strip Mines that illustrate the importance of lead or mineral extraction to the local economy.
