1932 Map of Greenfield

About this map

Greenfield serves as a principal hub in this 1930s landscape, situated at the crossroads of the Burlington Route and the Chicago and Alton railroads. The map reveals a dense network of country schools and family-named landmarks that defined rural Macoupin and Greene counties before the consolidation of mid-century farming. Rural education is prominent, with neighborhood centers like Elm Grove Sch and Pleasant Hill Sch spaced consistently across the prairie.
