1969 Map of Beckemeyer
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Beckemeyer and Bartelso anchor this mid-century look at Clinton County, where the agricultural landscape meets the active petroleum and transportation industries of Southern Illinois. The map documents an extensive rail network, with the Baltimore and Ohio and Southern lines cutting east-west across a terrain defined by the winding Kaskaskia River and its associated bottomlands. The presence of the Bartelso Oil Field and the Germantown East Oil Field illustrates the region's reliance on mineral extraction, while the numerous family and parish burial grounds, such as St Anthonys Cem and Maddux Cem, provide essential data for genealogical research.
