1981 Map of Henderson

Genealogical interest is high in this river valley, with several landmark institutions preserved on the landscape, including St Thomas Ch, Hilltop Sch, and both Brown Cem and St Joseph Cem. The Chicago and North Western railroad follows the eastern riverbank, serving Henderson Station and the neighboring Tyrone and Blakely townships. From the upland bluffs of Jessenland down to the floodplains, the map records a well-established network of farm-to-market roads and civic markers like the Townhall and local gaging stations.
