1983 Map of Hammond
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Hammond serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in the early 1980s, situated at the border of Piatt Co Moultrie Co. The village is organized around its central streets and a Jr High Sch, with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor running east-west through the heart of the settlement. The surrounding terrain is defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure, including the Cerro Gordo Ditch, Mutual Ditch, and Unity No 3 Ditch, which manage the water levels of the prairie for farming. Small hamlets and named points like Pierson, Voorhies, and Lanton dot the grid of country roads. Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks such as the Hammond Cem and Union Chapel, while an old Landing Strip and Old Railroad Grade indicate shifts in transportation and land use over the mid-20th century.
