1940 Map of Lewis
USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
The coal-rich landscape of Vigo and Sullivan counties emerges in this late 1930s survey, defined by the industrial activity around Blackhawk and the surrounding strip mines. The southern portion of the sheet features the rural crossroads of Farmersburg and Lewis, where the Chicago and Eastern Illinois and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads intersect the agricultural terrain. A unique social landmark, the Blue Ribbon Racetrack, sits just west of the Blackhawk Mine, illustrating the local recreation patterns of the era.
