1974 Map of Blyton

About this map

The Spoon River meanders across this rural Fulton County landscape, carving deep valleys through the townships of Harris, Deerfield, Cass, and Ellisville. The map captures a moment in the mid-1970s where the terrain is defined by its complex drainage network, including Put Creek, Shoal Creek, and the Laswell Branch. Small settlements like Babylon and Blyton serve as local anchors, while the historic village of Ellisville is situated in the north along the river's bend.
