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.
