The industrial and natural landscape of Hardin County, Illinois, is defined here by the presence of the Shawnee National Forest and the intense mineral extraction history along the Ohio River. The towns of Elizabethtown and Rosiclare serve as the primary riverfront hubs, with the latter surrounded by a dense concentration of fluorspar and lead mining operations, including the Rosiclare Mine, Alcoa Mine, and Ozark-Mahoning Mine. To the north, the Kaskaskia Experimental Forest and the site of the historic Illinois Furnace speak to the region's early iron industry and later forest management efforts.
