1964 Map of Birds
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Birds and Pinkstaff anchor this mid-1960s survey of the Illinois borderlands, where the New York Central railroad cuts a straight north-south line through the heart of the landscape. The region is defined by its transition from the upland prairies of Montgomery and Bond to the alluvial bottoms of the Old Channel Embarras River. The map reveals a dense network of local landmarks essential for family history research, including the Brookside Sch, Mt Zion Ch, and numerous rural burial grounds like Otterbein Cem and Dollahan Cem.
