1975 Map of Beardstown SW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Beardstown anchors the southern landscape where the Sangamon River meets the larger Illinois River corridor. This orthophotograph, derived from 1975 aerial photography, reveals the stark contrast between the dense grid of the river town and the expansive agricultural bottomlands that dominate the floodplain. To the northwest, the settlement of Pleasant View sits on higher ground, overlooking the intricate network of drainage and timbered bluffs. The imagery provides an unfiltered view of mid-1970s land use, capturing the specific field patterns and river morphology of this central Illinois junction before modern development altered the rural and riparian fringes.
