1961 Map of Chatham
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The expansive waters of Lake Springfield dominate the eastern landscape of this Sangamon County region during the early 1960s. The village of Chatham sits as a primary junction for the Illinois Terminal and the Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroads, illustrating the area's transition from a rural agricultural hub into a suburban neighbor of the state capital. Evidence of mid-century infrastructure and community life is visible through features like the National Guard Depot, the Lincoln Land Jr College, and multiple youth retreats including the Boy Scout Camp and Girl Scout Camp.
