1951 Map of Effingham
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
Effingham serves as the bustling regional hub on this mid-century survey, positioned at the junction of the Pennsylvania and Illinois Central railroads. The map reveals a transition from the urban density of the city center—complete with its Radio Tower WCRA, Fairground, and Golf Club—to the fertile agricultural stretches of Douglas and Summit townships. To the west, the city of Altamont is anchored by the Altamont Reservoir and the Baltimore And Ohio line, illustrating the critical role of rail infrastructure in Southern Illinois during this era.
