1930 Map of Hardin
USGS Topo · Published 1930About this map
Hardin sits at the narrowest point between the Mississippi River and the Illinois River, anchoring a landscape defined by river navigation and rural education in the late 1920s. This survey, compiled in part from early Air Corps aerial photography, reveals a dense network of country schools such as Pecan Grove Sch and Teneriffe Sch serving isolated hollows like De Gerlia Hollow and Poor Farm Hollow. The importance of the water is evident in the numerous landings along the banks, including Burr Oak Ldg and Gilead Ldg, which once served as vital commerce points for local farm produce.
