1984 Map of Foosland
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
Foosland and the surrounding agricultural prairies are defined by the convergence of major rail corridors and the headwaters of the Sangamon River in the early 1980s. This survey area straddles the borders of Champaign, McLean, and Piatt counties, documenting small grain-elevator settlements like Lotus, Osman, and Troster that grew along the Illinois Central Gulf and Norfolk and Western lines. The landscape is notably occupied by the extensive Manlove Gas Storage Area, an industrial footprint contrasting with the surrounding Brown and Blue Ridge townships.
