1985 Map of Altamont East

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The town of Altamont serves as the focal point of this mid-1980s landscape, where the Conrail line cuts a straight path through the central prairies. The area is defined by a dense network of small drainages and township divisions including Moccasin, Summit, and Mound. Local infrastructure is notably captured through the Altamont Reservoir and the Old Altamont Reservoir, indicating the evolving water management needs of the community. Rural life is anchored by smaller named clusters like Dexter, Keptown, and Blue Point, while the terrain is etched by the meandering courses of Big Creek, Lily Creek, and Second Creek. These waterways eventually feed toward the L Wabash R in the southeast corner. Genealogists will find several small Cem notations scattered across the grid, marking the locations of quiet country burial grounds serving these longstanding Effingham County townships.
