2015 Map of Rudement
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
The Shawnee National Forest dominates the topography of this southern Illinois landscape, where the rugged elevations of the Eagle Mountains and Cave Hill rise above the surrounding river basins. Local genealogy is anchored by several small family and community burial sites, including the Big Saline Church Cem and Colbert Family Cem. The drainage patterns of the Middle Fork Saline River and South Fork Saline River have shaped the settlement locations of rural communities like Somerset and Rudement. Historical land use is evident in the numerous named hollows, such as Stillhouse Hollow and Three Springs Hollow, which suggest a legacy of water-dependent local industry and early habitation sites tucked into the limestone ridges.
