1943 Map of Carmi
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
Carmi serves as the focal point of this Southern Illinois landscape, where the confluence of the Little Wabash River and Skillet Fork dictates the pattern of settlement. In the early 1940s, the area was densely populated with rural institutions, including the Baptist Orphanage south of the main town and dozens of uniquely named schoolhouses like Moccasin Sch and Bootjack Sch. The infrastructure of the era is clearly defined by the New York Central and Louisville and Nashville railroads, which facilitated local trade for communities such as Crossville and Phillipstown.
