USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Gibson City anchors this mid-century survey of the Illinois prairie, serving as a vital rail crossroads where the Wabash, Illinois Central, and New York Chicago and St Louis railroads converge. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Sangamon River, which winds through the townships of Drummer, Dix, and Brown. This era captures a period of consolidation in rural education, evidenced by several decommissioned local landmarks such as Skeel Sch, Blackford Sch, and Sangamon Sch.
