1914 Map of Centralia
USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
The railroad hubs of Centralia, Odin, and Sandoval anchor this mid-1930s landscape, illustrating a period when the intersection of major rail lines like the Baltimore and Ohio and the Illinois Central drove the local economy. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Boulder Bottoms along the Kaskaskia River to the rolling uplands of Fikes Hill. This survey captures a dense network of country schools, such as the uniquely named Toad Island School and Possomtrot School, which served the rural communities between the burgeoning town centers of Central City and Wamac.
