Description

This finely detailed map of southwestern Indiana was prepared by George Hall Ashley in 1898 for inclusion in the Indiana Department of Geology and Natural Resources Annual Report. Emphasis is given to the extensive coal deposits across the region. Openings, outcrops, quarries, and drill holes are noted according to the legend in the center-left. A vertical cross-section between Vincennes and Shoals, along the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, is shown along the bottom of the sheet. Varying shades of green reflect different geologic divisions, noted in the lower right.
