1954 Map of Edwardsville

Genealogists and local historians can trace the development of outlying settlements such as Le Claire, Glen Carbon, and the now-abandoned site of Progress Sch. The map reveals the deep-rooted community structure of Madison County through its numerous rural landmarks, from the Quercus Grove Cem in the north to St Cecilia Ch in the south. Notable geographic features like Dunlap Lake and the historical boundary of Fort Russell provide additional context for the region's mid-century expansion.
