About this map

Collinsville sits at the heart of this 1930s industrial and agricultural landscape, where the dense grid of the city meets the irregular topography of the Illinois bluffs. The map captures a sophisticated transportation network during a decade of transition, featuring the extensive tracks of the Illinois Terminal and the Pennsylvania railroad lines which facilitated the region's coal and manufacturing output. Outside the main city center, a constellation of rural schools such as Wilson Heights Sch, Clay Sch, and Liberty Sch suggests a well-distributed population of farming and mining families.
