1964 Map of Darrow

About this map

Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad tracks anchor the landscape of this mid-1960s survey along the Illinois and Indiana state line. Small settlements like Darrow and Cutmer represent the quiet rail stops of Iroquois County, where the grid of rural roads is occasionally broken by uniquely named routes like Possum Trot. The drainage of the region is defined by the winding paths of Coon Creek and Sugar Creek, the latter featuring several Gravel Pits along its banks, suggesting local industry in the mid-century era.
