1910 Map of Carlyle

About this map

Carlyle serves as the focal point of this Clinton County landscape, situated where the Baltimore and Ohio RR crosses the Kaskaskia River. The map reveals a dense network of early 20th-century rural infrastructure, characterized by an exceptional number of small school districts such as Hull School, Schwierjohn School, and Matsler School. The terrain is marked by distinct elevations like The Mound and Browns Hill, which stand above the river's floodplains and numerous oxbow lakes including Horseshoe Lake and Blanke Lake.
