2018 Map of Industry

About this map

Industry serves as the primary hub in this portion of McDonough County, situated at the junction of North Ave and E Main St. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between level agricultural tablelands in the north and the heavily dissected drainage basins of Grindstone Cr and Carter Cr to the south. This transition is marked by a high density of rural burial grounds, suggesting a long-established settlement pattern along the bluffs and creek breaks. Local historians can find several clustered cemeteries south of town, including the closely grouped Pleasant Grove Cem, Spring Grove Cem, and Crossroads Cem. Further into the broken terrain, the map details the intricate network of tributaries like Tolands Br and Rich Br that feed into the larger river systems of Schuyler County.
