1985 Map of Effingham South

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The city of Effingham serves as the industrial and transportation hub for this mid-1980s landscape, where the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad and Conrail lines intersect. The map documents a period of significant local infrastructure, including the Effingham County Memorial Airport and a series of Industrial Waste Ponds that hint at the era's manufacturing footprint. Beyond the urban center, the terrain is defined by the winding course of the Little Wabash River, which separates the township of Summit from the surrounding countryside. Smaller rural settlements like Watson, Heartville, and Teutopolis are mapped in detail, often clustered around rail corridors or water sources like Blue Point Creek. For local historians, the inclusion of old town sites like Ewington and Funkhouser provides a clear view of the shifting population centers in Effingham County.
