1944 Map of Kewanee

About this map

The industrial and agricultural hub of Kewanee anchors this mid-century landscape, where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad cuts through the heart of the city near Evergreen Park. Extending south across the Stark County line, the map reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure typical of the Illinois prairie before the consolidation of rural school districts. One-room schoolhouses such as Bumble Bee Sch, Vinegar Hill Sch, and Saxon Sch appear at nearly every square-mile interval, providing precise coordinates for local genealogy research.
