USGS Topo · Published 1912About this map
The industrial coal belts of central Illinois dominate this 1912 survey, revealing a landscape defined by underground extraction and a dense grid of rural education. Canton serves as the primary hub, surrounded by a constellation of active operations such as Canton Mine, Eagle Mine, and the Simmons Mine. The map documents a highly developed school system, with nearly every section of the township containing a local schoolhouse like Lone Elm School, Sunbeam School, or Pisgah School, providing a precise record for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads.
