1947 Map of Linton
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Linton serves as the industrial and population hub of this post-war landscape, where the local economy is deeply tied to extensive coal operations. The terrain is heavily modified by numerous strip mines that dominate the western half of the quadrangle, particularly around the small mining communities of Victoria and Vicksburg. This heavy industry was facilitated by a dense network of competing rail lines, including the Illinois Central and Indianapolis Railroad, the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific Railroad.
