1952 Map of Erie
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Rock River dominates this mid-century landscape as it winds through a dense network of sloughs and islands, including Kempster Island and the backwaters of Faden Slough. This survey captures the rural character of the Illinois prairie in the early 1950s, defined by its small farming communities and a remarkably high density of one-room schoolhouses such as Dublin Sch, Enterprise Sch, and Pink Prairie Sch. The geography is bisected by the Old Indian Boundary, a historical dividing line that runs diagonally across the terrain near Shady Beach.
