1946 Map of Augusta

About this map

Augusta and Clayton anchor this mid-century landscape where Hancock, Adams, Schuyler, and Brown counties converge. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the La Moine River in the northeast and the complex drainage of Missouri Creek and Flour Creek. Transport networks are central to the area's development, evidenced by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line serving Augusta and the Wabash RR passing through Clayton and Mound Station.
