1952 Map of Calhoun

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Green River carves a winding path through McLean County, anchoring a landscape defined by riverside settlements and rural crossroads during the early 1950s. Calhoun, the county seat, sits on the northern bank across from Rumsey, while the smaller communities of Ashbyburg and Jewel City occupy the river's southern bends. The interior terrain is punctuated by significant local landmarks such as Antioch Ch, Shutts Chapel, and the uniquely named settlement of Poverty. An active petroleum economy is evident from the concentration of Oil Wells in the northeast near Guffie, showing the region's mid-century industrial footprint alongside established family history sites like Moseley Cem and Calhoun Cemetery.
