1944 Map of Avon
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
Avon and Prairie City anchor the northwestern Illinois prairie in this 1944 update of earlier twentieth-century surveys. The landscape is a study in early Midwestern rural infrastructure, defined by an incredibly dense network of one-room schoolhouses such as Oldtown School, Troy School, and Hazel Ridge School that served the farmstead families of the era. The Spoon River meanders through the eastern half, creating a corridor of more complex topography compared to the flat railroad-aligned towns.
