1953 Map of Lisbon

About this map

Lisbon and the surrounding prairie of northern Saratoga Township appear here in a period of agricultural transition, just as modern infrastructure began to bisect the historic farmsteads of Kendall and Grundy counties. The landscape is defined by the winding courses of Nettle Creek and West Aux Sable Creek, which supported early settlement hubs like Central. Educational and religious life is well-documented through numerous rural landmarks such as White Willow Sch, Gore Sch, and Grace Ch.
