1943 Map of Camden West

About this map

The rural landscapes of Amboy, Camden, and Vienna converge in this mid-century survey, revealing a network of small settlements and family-named landmarks. The village of Camden sits at the confluence of the Mad River and West Branch Fish Creek, where the local terrain transitions from the dense Camden Woods in the north toward the open wetlands and fields of the south. This era is characterized by a high density of one-room schoolhouses, including School No 12 near the Pete Lynch Cem and School No 6 along North Hillsboro Road.
