1986 Map of Crescent City

About this map

The confluence of the Middle Fork Iroquois River and the Iroquois River anchor this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating a river-valley geography defined by both natural watercourses and industrial infrastructure. The village of Crescent City sits in the southwest corner, while the western reaches of Watseka are visible to the east along Sugar Creek. This survey highlights the region's agricultural and logistical identity, documented through features like a rural Landing Strip, a series of pipelines, and several localized extraction sites including a Sand Pit and Gravel Pit. Local history is preserved in the location of the Cem and prominent communication landmarks like the Radio Towers WGFA. The map provides a clear look at the township boundaries of Martinton, Ashkum, and Crescent, showing the surveyed sections and transport corridors that connect these Iroquois County communities.
