1982 Map of Hume
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The town of Hume sits at the intersection of rural Illinois prairie and a busy rail network in the early 1980s. This survey records a landscape shaped by the Baltimore and Ohio and Norfolk and Western railroads, which converge near Metcalf. These rail lines define the transport patterns of the era, connecting the smaller settlements of Hildreth, Gilkey, and Melwood. The map provides specific detail for local historians and genealogists, locating the Young America Cem and the Shiloh Sch south of the main settlement. The drainage patterns of Brushy Fork and Brouilletts Creek bisect the townships of Young America and Shiloh, while the presence of the Richardson Landing Strip to the north suggests the continued importance of local aviation in this agricultural region.
