1928 Map of La Center
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Monkeys Eyebrow and Needmore sit at the northern edge of this late 1920s survey, where the Ohio River divides the terrain between Kentucky and Illinois. The landscape is defined by the sweeping Grand Chain landing and a dense network of country schools and rural chapels. Settlements like La Center and Bandana are connected by a mix of early transit routes, including the Illinois Central Railroad and the Post Creek Cutoff. The drainage patterns of Clanton Creek and Massac Creek carve through the agricultural heart of Ballard and McCracken counties. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Gum Corners Sch to Milburn Chapel, providing a precise record of rural community life before the mid-century expansion of modern highway systems.
