1974 Map of Carthage East
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The eastern edges of Carthage and the surrounding prairie of Hancock County are defined by a complex drainage network where the La Moine River winds through wooded bottomlands. This mid-1970s survey captures the landscape during a period of academic and industrial presence, featuring the Robert Morris Jr College campus and various municipal infrastructure like a Sew Disp and Radio Tower. The agricultural character of the region is punctuated by family-named landmarks and several rural burial grounds, including McKay Cem and Woodring Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research.
