1938 Map of Hardin
USGS Topo · Published 1938About this map
Hardin stands as the central hub of this riverine landscape, where the Illinois River and Mississippi River converge toward their junction. Surveyed in the late 1920s and mid-1930s, the map reveals a complex network of chutes, islands, and backwater lakes that defined life in Calhoun County before modern levee systems fully transformed the bottoms. The interior ridges are dotted with country institutions like the Poor Farm and Gilead Cemetery, while the riverbanks are marked by historic points of transit such as Sterling Landing and Wilson Landing.
