1926 Map of Beardstown
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
Beardstown stands as a pivotal river terminal and rail hub in this mid-1940s revision of earlier 1920s topography, illustrating the dense network of waterways and embankments along the Illinois River. The landscape is defined by an intricate system of backwater lakes, sloughs, and swales, including Muscooten Bay and Treadway Lake, which shaped the development of riverside settlements like Browning and Frederick. The industrial presence of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy RR is prominent, cutting through the bluffs and river bottoms to connect rural outposts.
