1907 Map of Belleville
USGS Topo · Published 1913About this map
The expanding industrial and transit network of St. Clair and Madison Counties is clearly etched across this early twentieth-century landscape. Belleville serves as the dominant hub in the south, while a dense web of rail infrastructure, including the St Louis and Belleville Electric RR and the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern RR, connects growing coal and agricultural centers like Collinsville, O'Fallon, and Lebanon. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of Silver Creek and its tributaries, such as Little Silver Creek and Mill Creek, which dictated the early placement of settlements and mills.
