USGS Topo · Published 1923About this map
Carlinville serves as the hub of this 1923 central Illinois landscape, where an extensive network of early railroads and country schools defines the rural character of Macoupin County. The map documents a transition in transportation, showing the Illinois Traction System electric line running parallel to steam roads like the Chicago and Alton. This era represents a peak for local institutional life, evidenced by a high density of rural schoolhouses such as Sugar Creek School, Pleasant Hill School, and East Union School located every few miles to serve farming families.
