USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The Salt Fork river winds through the eastern Illinois prairie, anchoring a landscape defined by small rail towns and rural school districts in the late 1950s. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the New York Central and Illinois Central Terminal lines, which connected agricultural hubs like Fithian and Oakwood. The presence of Belgium Row and Missionfield suggests the regional industrial history, while the sprawling Kickapoo State Park marks a shift toward conservation along the Glenburn Cr.
