USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Geneseo serves as the primary hub of activity on this mid-century survey, positioned where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad bisects the Illinois prairie. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of early transport and agriculture, most notably the Illinois and Mississippi Canal (abandoned) which runs parallel to the Green River in the north. This abandoned waterway reflects a shift in regional transport as rail and road networks took precedence by the 1950s.
