1950 Map of Edwardsville

About this map

Edwardsville serves as a major hub for rail and county administration in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by a dense network of transit, including the Wabash, Illinois Terminal, and Litchfield and Madison railroads, which converge near Bluff Junction. The city's civic footprint is clearly detailed with the Court House, City Hall Post Office, and the County Sanitarium plotted along its central streets. South of the main settlement, Le Claire and Glen Carbon reflect the industrial and residential expansion of the era.
