1954 Map of Caneyville

About this map

The town of Caneyville serves as the focal point of this mid-century portrait of Grayson County, situated along the Illinois Central railroad and the banks of Caney Creek. The map reveals a densely settled rural landscape defined by its community infrastructure, particularly its numerous country schools and churches. Educational landmarks like Ned Springs Sch, Stinson Sch, and Byers Sch are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the localized school districts of the era. To the east, the village of Millwood marks another stop on the rail line, while Shrewsbury anchors the southeastern corner.
