1979 Map of Coulter

About this map

Coulter anchors the northwestern corner of this Franklin County survey, showing the town's grid and its relationship to the surrounding agricultural landscape in the late 1970s. The region is defined by its transit history, particularly the Chicago and North Western Railroad Grade in the north and the active Chicago Rock Island and Pacific tracks in the southeast. Waterways like Maynes Creek and Squaw Creek carve through the prairie townships of Marion, Hamilton, and Mott, where small rural landmarks persist. Genealogists will find interest in the locations of St Johns Ch and the Maynes Grove Cem, alongside a centrally located Townhall and the small station of Klousia. A Pipeline and a Radio Tower mark the technological footprint of the era, while a Landing Strip provides a look at local private aviation.
