1953 Map of Aledo East

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Aledo serves as the focal point for this mid-century look at Mercer County, where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad passes through the center of town. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Edwards River to the north and Pope Creek to the south, with rural life organized around townships like Perryton, Greene, and Ohio Grove. Industrial activity is evident at Shale City, where a Kiln is marked, while the small settlements of Warlock and Old Gilchrist appear along the rail lines and regional roads. Genealogists will find a high density of family-oriented landmarks, including the Sugar Grove Cemetery, McClure Cemetery, and local schoolhouses such as Frew School and Calhoun School. This survey captures the transition of the local rail infrastructure, noting sections of track that are already dismantled by the early 1950s.
