1971 Map of Jesup
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Jesup serves as the primary hub of this 1970s survey, straddling the county line between Black Hawk and Buchanan Counties. The town's grid is bisected by the Illinois Central railroad, a corridor that also features the St Athanasius Cem and Cedar Crest Cem. To the south, smaller rural nodes like Jubilee and Shady Grove provide evidence of earlier settlement patterns, linked by the winding course of Spring Creek and its East Branch. The landscape transition from town to countryside is marked by several private airfields, including Poyner Landing Strip and Collier Landing Strip, alongside traditional infrastructure like a Townhall in Fox Township. This survey documents the intersection of established midwestern agriculture with modern utility corridors, evidenced by the large Pipelines cutting across the southern prairie.
