Bloomington and Normal anchor the northwest corner of this mid-century survey, but the landscape quickly shifts to the rural townships of Old Town, Empire, and Randolph. The map reveals a highly structured agricultural and transport corridor, where the New York Central and Illinois Central railroads stitch together small trading hubs like Le Roy and Heyworth. A glimpse into the changing rural education system is visible through the many schoolhouses transitioning out of use, such as the Prairie Union Sch (Abandoned) and Imperial Sch (Abandoned).
