1964 Map of Burnside

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Burnside and La Crosse anchor the southern landscape of this mid-1960s Hancock County survey, where the Toledo Peoria and Western railroad cuts across the agricultural terrain. The map captures a transition in the drainage patterns between Durham in the north and the larger waterways to the south, including the winding La Moine River and its South Branch. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of the Durham Cem, Woodruff Cem, and Pilot Grove Cem, reflecting early settlement patterns in Durham, Pilot Grove, and Fountain Green townships. Small-scale industry is represented by a Quarry situated near the intersection of several local creeks. The drainage network, including Wildcat Creek and Grove Creek, reveals the natural dissection of the Illinois prairie before modern intensive development.
