1963 Map of Galatia
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Galatia and Harrisburg anchor this mid-century topographic portrait of Southern Illinois, where the agricultural landscape is deeply marked by the extractive industries and transportation networks of the 1960s. The map illustrates a dense web of rural infrastructure, including the Illinois Central Railroad and the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, which served the region's productive coal and oil sectors. Numerous oil wells and the designated Oil Field near Muddy indicate the subterranean activity that fueled local economies alongside traditional farming.
