1967 Map of Long Creek
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Lake Decatur Elevation 613 and the Sangamon River anchor the northwest corner of this Central Illinois landscape, where a dense network of railroads reflects the region's mid-century industrial and agricultural connectivity. The Norfolk and Western and Baltimore and Ohio lines cross the prairie, serving rural elevators and connecting smaller settlements like Oakley and Casner. Around Mount Zion and the village of Long Creek, the map captures a period of growth as residential footprints expand near Spitler Woods State Park and Camp Warren. This 1967 survey, updated with 1975 revisions, preserves a detailed record of the rural landscape before late-century suburbanization, showing several country burial grounds such as Point Pleasant Cem and the Salem Sch, alongside active resource extraction sites like the Gravel Pits north of Decatur.
