1937 Map of Lacon
USGS Topo · Published 1937About this map
The Illinois River valley dominates this landscape, carving a wide path through the central plains and creating an intricate network of backwater lakes and sloughs. Settled during the mid-1930s, the river corridor features large bodies of water such as Senachwine Lake, Swan Lake, and Billsbach Lake, which are flanked by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad to the west. This transport artery serves riverfront settlements like Putnam, Henry, and Sparland, illustrating a landscape deeply tied to the commercial and natural rhythms of the river.
