USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
The town of Atkinson serves as the central hub of this mid-century Henry County landscape, situated along the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad line. The map illustrates a highly managed water system, where the Green River flows parallel to the Illinois and Mississippi Canal (abandoned). This intersection of natural and man-made waterways, including the Big Slough Drainage Ditch and Blue Joint Drainage Ditch, highlights the region's historical commitment to agricultural drainage and transportation infrastructure.
