1964 Map of Dennison

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Pennsylvania railroad corridor dictates the settlement pattern of this borderland landscape, linking the communities of Dennison, McKeen, and Farrington. This survey captures the rural character of the Illinois-Indiana state line just before the mid-1960s, where the terrain transitions from the upland farming of Elbridge to the broad Wabash Valley in the south. Local life is centered around country crossroads and small houses of worship such as Mt Moriah Ch and Dunlap Ch. The physical geography is defined by the incision of Sugar Creek, Hawks Creek, and Crooked Creek into the prairie, creating a web of wooded ravines that isolate small farmsteads. Near the southeastern corner, the Wabash River and the flat expanse of Prairieton appear, while scattered Oil Wells indicate the subterranean resource extraction typical of the era.
