1985 Map of Edgewood
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
Edgewood serves as a central hub in this mid-1980s landscape, positioned where the Illinois Central Gulf railroad cuts a diagonal line through the prairie. The settlement pattern follows the rail corridor, connecting Mason in the northeast to La Clede in the southwest. This geography highlights the enduring importance of rail transport to the small agricultural communities of Effingham and Clay counties. Surrounding these towns, the terrain is defined by a dendritic network of waterways including Fulfer Creek and Dismal Creek, which carve through the otherwise level farm fields.
