1964 Map of Lennox

About this map

Lennox and Chancellor anchor this mid-1960s agricultural landscape, where the Chicago Milwaukee ST Paul And Pacific and Great Northern railroads intersect to define the local economy and settlement pattern. The map reveals a highly organized rural infrastructure, dotted with numerous one-room schoolhouses like Burma Sch, Vietor Sch, and Sunny Side Sch that served the outlying townships of Germantown, Perry, and Middleton. In the southwest corner, the Vermillion River meanders toward the town of Davis, while the presence of the Delaware Ch and several local burial grounds, including Lennox Cem and Chancellor Cem, provide critical touchstones for genealogical research. The landscape is also marked by industrial activity, with several Gravel Pits concentrated near the rail lines, reflecting the region's geological utility during this era.
