1964 Map of Dennison

About this map

The Penn Central rail line cuts diagonally across this Illinois-Indiana borderland, connecting several mid-century railroad settlements. In the center of the sheet, Dennison serves as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural community, while smaller hamlets like McKeen, Farrington, and Weaver are linked by a network of country roads. The landscape is deeply incised by the drainage systems of Sugar Creek, Clear Creek, and Hawks Creek, which flow toward the eastern boundary. Notable local landmarks include Camp Illiana and Windemere Lake near the state line. Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of rural houses of worship such as Dunlap Ch and Armstrong Ch, along with family burial grounds like Farris Cem. In the southeast, the terrain shifts significantly as it meets the lowlands of the Wabash River near Prairie Ton.
