1951 Map of Amboy

About this map

The Green River Ordnance Plant dominates the northern landscape of this region, a massive military installation complete with its own sewage disposal system and water tank. Located near the junction of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy and Illinois Central railroads, the hub of Amboy serves as the primary municipal center, flanked by the smaller settlement of Binghamton. The map captures a high density of rural social infrastructure, including the St Patrick Ch and the Prairie Repose Cem, alongside a vast network of local schools such as Palmer Sch and the O'Neill Sch (Abandoned).
