1947 Map of Cullom
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Livingston County grain-growing country centers on the intersection of the Wabash and Illinois Central railroads in the mid-1940s. The landscape is a dense network of township lines and local schools, reflecting a period when small rural schoolhouses like Peppard Sch and Jacobs Sch still served individual square-mile sections. The North Fork Vermilion River and South Fork Vermilion River meander through the southern half of the quadrangle, with hydrology monitored at the Vieley Br Gaging Sta. This survey captures the height of the rural township system, where small hubs like Cullom, Saunemin, and Chatsworth functioned as vital rail stops for the surrounding farms. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records across sites like St Marys Cem and Drivemile Cem, alongside numerous country churches including Emanuel Ch and North Ch.
