1959 Map of Saline Mines

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Saline Mines and the surrounding river bluffs are documented here during a period of significant extraction within the Shawnee National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the confluence of the Saline River and the Ohio River, where industrial activity is evidenced by the complex of Maroning Mines and numerous individual sites like the Crystal Mine and Minerva Mine No 1. The map reveals a deeply etched terrain of hollows and ridges, such as Blind Hollow and Tucker Hill, which dictated the placement of early settlements and rural infrastructure.
