1917 Map of Brownfield

USGS Topo · Published 1917

About this map

Dixon Springs and the surrounding hills of Southern Illinois appear here just before the United States entered the Great War, showing a landscape defined by small rural school districts and localized post offices. The Illinois Central railroad cuts through the center of the sheet, connecting towns like Reevesville and Homberg to the wider region. An interesting settlement shift is visible near the center, where Old Brownfield is marked separately from the newer station at Brownfield, illustrating how the rail line often pulled community centers away from their original sites.
