USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
The Illinois Central and Toledo Peoria and Western railroads anchor the development of Iroquois County in the mid-1940s, dictating the growth of town centers like Gilman and Crescent City. This landscape is defined by its methodical grid of rural school districts and family-named crossings, reflecting a densely settled agricultural community. Named schools like Ross Farm Sch, Leggottville Sch, and Vanderpoorten Sch appear at nearly every other section corner, marking the local social hubs of the era.
