1947 Map of Linton
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The extensive coal mining operations of Greene and Sullivan counties dominate this mid-century landscape, characterized by numerous Strip Mine excavations scarring the terrain around Linton. The region is a dense network of industrial transit, where the Pennsylvania, Illinois Central, and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads converge to service the extractive economy. Beyond the industrial zones, a traditional rural infrastructure of country schools and churches remains visible. Places like Sassafras Sch, Bedwell Sch, and Olive Branch Ch are scattered among the townships, providing vital genealogical markers for the period. Drainage projects like the Goose Pond Ditch and Beehunter Ditch reveal the early efforts to manage the low-lying wetlands of southern Stockton and Jefferson townships for agriculture or mining use.
