1948 Map of Lewistown
USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
The Lewistown region of central Illinois is presented here as a landscape shaped by coal extraction and a dense network of rural infrastructure just after World War II. Large areas of Strip Mine operations dominate the northern sections near Cuba, indicating the heavy industrial influence on the local economy. In contrast, the southern portion of the quadrangle maintains its agrarian roots, defined by the winding course of the Spoon River and an extensive Levee system protecting the bottomlands.
