1973 Map of Herscher
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
Herscher serves as the primary hub of this 1970s landscape, characterized by the intersection of the Illinois Central Gulf and Penn Central railroads. The area's agricultural and industrial character is evident in the transition from the Salina and Pilot townships to the eastern Limestone township, where numerous quarries and gravel pits mark the land. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites including Mt Hope Cem, SS Peter & Paul Cem, and Pilot Center Cem, alongside landmarks like Zion Ch and Trinity Cem. The terrain is drained by Horse Creek and its branches, leading toward Pilot Hill in the south, while several pipelines and a Compressor Station underscore the modern infrastructure supporting the surrounding small settlements like Goodrich and Lehigh.
