About this map

The industrial and rural landscape of southern Illinois is defined by the extraction economy near the confluence of the Saline River and the Ohio River. Located within the Shawnee National Forest, this 1959 survey reveals an extensive network of mineral operations, including the Mahoning Mine, Victory Mine, and the Oxford Mine. These sites are clustered along the Hardin County and Gallatin County line, indicating a period of high activity for the regional fluorspar and coal industries.
