1966 Map of Danville NE

About this map

Danville serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, showing the city's residential and industrial footprint alongside its transition into the surrounding agricultural landscape of Vermilion County. The map documents a dense network of transportation, including the Chicago and Eastern Illinois and New York Central railroads which intersect at various points. Local history is well-preserved through several small burial grounds such as Leonard Cem and Huffman Cem, and rural schools like Grange Hall Sch. Along the state border, the appropriately named State Line and Illiana sit right on the boundary between Illinois and Indiana. Notable civic features include the sprawling VA Hospital complex, Danville Jr College, and local landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and the Airport northeast of the city center.
