1967 Map of Forsyth
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Decatur's northern expansion is clearly visible in this mid-1960s study, which shows the development of residential neighborhoods like Larkdale and Cresthaven Country Club pushing into the farmland of Hickory Point and Whitmore. The northern edge of the city is characterized by educational and institutional growth, including the Stephen Decatur High Sch, Mound Jr High Sch, and the Adlai E Stevenson Sch. The era's transportation infrastructure is anchored by the Illinois Central Pennsylvania railroad corridor, which links the industrial hub of Decatur to the outlying grain elevators at Emery and the growing village of Forsyth.
