1953 Map of Atkinson
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The village of Atkinson serves as a focal point in this mid-century look at central Henry County, where the industrial presence of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad meets a landscape shaped by hydraulic engineering. The Illinois and Mississippi Canal (abandoned) runs parallel to the rail line, indicating a shift from nineteenth-century water transport to twentieth-century rail and road dominance. To the north, the Green River meanders across the township boundaries of Phoenix and Loraine, while the surrounding prairie is dotted with a high density of rural institutions.
