1954 Map of Albion West

About this map

The county seat of Albion anchors the eastern edge of this mid-century survey, revealing a well-established agricultural community organized by several rural townships including Ashland, Midland, Manchester, Roselma, and Boone. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Beaver Creek and the diagonal path of the Chicago and North Western railroad. Educational infrastructure is particularly prominent, with a network of country schools such as Maple Hill Sch, Beaver Valley Sch, and numbered districts like School No 2 and School No 81 serving the surrounding farms.
