About this map

The intersection of the Illinois Central, Pennsylvania, and Baltimore and Ohio railroads defines the mid-century industrial landscape of Effingham. This post-war survey illustrates a region where rail commerce and agriculture intertwined, anchored by the county seat and the western hub of Altamont. Rural life is meticulously documented through a network of country schools and churches, including White Chapel, Ebenezer Ch, and the St Johns Ch.
