1965 Map of Harmony

About this map

Harmony sits at the center of this rural landscape where the Marion Co Jefferson Co line bisects a terrain of winding waterways and family landmarks. The mid-1960s survey reveals a dispersed community structure tied to local institutions such as Field Sch, Farrington Sch, and the Townhall. Numerous small burial grounds, including the Blankenship Cem, Byars Cem, and Old Donoho Cem, are scattered throughout the townships of Haines, Romine, and Field, providing vital leads for genealogists. The presence of Oil Wells and a Radio Tower indicates the localized industrial developments of the era. The land is drained by several named branches, notably Horse Creek, Sully Creek, and Pigeon Creek, which carve through the Divide separating these southern Illinois townships.
