About this map

The Saline River and Ohio River define the eastern edge of this landscape, where the historic Saline Mines stand as a reminder of the region's early industrial importance. Located primarily within the Shawnee National Forest, the terrain is marked by numerous family burial grounds, including the Earnshaw Cem, Stanley Cem, and Dutton Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracking early settlers in Hardin and Gallatin Counties.

Settlements like Saline Landing and Lamb are connected by a network of rural roads such as Cadiz Rd and Tucker Hill Rd. The map also details complex hydrography and terrain features like Hooven Hollow, Big Sink, and Wardens Slough, showing the intersection of the river-bottom environment with the interior forest uplands. Distinctive landmarks such as Belt Hill and Tucker Hill rise above the many creek branches that drain toward the Ohio.
