The heavy industry of southern Jefferson County is on full display in the mid-1970s, characterized by expansive coal operations like the Orient No 3 Mine and Orient No 6 Mine. This landscape is deeply shaped by the extraction economy, with large Tailings Ponds and the Inland Mine sitting adjacent to the rail lines of the Burlington Northern and Illinois Central Gulf. These railroads converge near the village of Waltonville, which serves as a central hub for the surrounding townships of Blissville and McClellan.
