1949 Map of Cissna Park
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Cissna Park anchors this central Illinois agricultural landscape as it appeared in the late 1940s, situated at the confluence of several townships including Artesia, Ash Grove, and Pigeon. The map reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure, most notably an exceptional concentration of country schoolhouses that served the farming community, such as Possum Trot Sch, Pond Lily Sch, and Leemon Sch. This distribution suggests a highly localized social structure before the mid-century trend of school consolidation fully transformed the region.
