USGS Topo · Published 1926About this map
Beardstown serves as the rail and river hub for this portion of the Illinois River valley during the mid-1920s. The town sits at a strategic junction where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy RR crosses the Sangamon River just before its confluence with the Illinois River at Muscooten Bay. This environment is defined by an intricate network of bottomland lakes and sloughs, including Crane Lake, Stewart Lake, and Hickory Slough, reflecting a landscape deeply shaped by seasonal water movement.
