1893 Map of Lacon
USGS Topo · Published 1893About this map
The Illinois River serves as the central artery for this late nineteenth-century landscape, carving a wide valley through the bluff-lined terrain of Marshall and Putnam Counties. The river's influence on regional development is evident in the cluster of settlements and infrastructure along its banks, including the town of Henry with its Lock and the river-crossing at Lacon. The map illustrates the complex hydrology of the valley, where numerous backwater features like Senachwine Lake, Goose Lake, and Bilsbach Lake dominate the floodplain between the steep western bluffs and the eastern uplands.
