USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Agricultural patterns and rail-line connectivity define this mid-century look at Piatt and Moultrie Counties. The Sangamon River winds through the northern portion of the sheet, bordered by family-named landmarks like Cronninger Cem and West Frantz Cem. The landscape is dominated by the geometric precision of drainage ditches such as Mutual Ditch and Wabash Ditch, reflecting the intensive land reclamation efforts required for the region’s productive prairie soil.
