1956 Map of Emmet NE
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The Middle Branch Douglas Creek and East Branch Douglas Creek carve through the prairie landscape of McLean County in this mid-century survey. The rural character of the region is defined by its decentralized community centers, including Banner Ch and Clifton Cem. A striking density of schoolhouses—some already marked for their decline—reveals the shift in rural education patterns during the 1950s. While institutions like Schneider Sch and Platt Sch No 1 remained, others such as Platt Sch No 2 (Abandoned) and Hackett Sch No 2 (Abandoned) were already artifacts of an earlier era. The map also identifies a small Landing Field, indicating the importance of local aviation in this open landscape, which is bounded in part by the St Mary township line.
