USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Agricultural life in eastern Illinois is defined by a dense grid of township roads and small-town junctions in this mid-century survey. The landscape is dominated by the Embarrass River and Brouilletts Creek, while the human footprint is visible through an extraordinary number of rural schoolhouses, such as Golden Rule Sch, Fairplay Sch, and Pilot Grove Sch. These small, localized institutions once served the families of the surrounding farmsteads before consolidation changed the rural educational landscape.
