1967 Map of Long Island

About this map

Prairie Dog Creek defines the local topography of this Phillips County region, winding through a valley that serves as the primary corridor for settlement and transit. In the late 1960s, the town of Long Island stands as the central hub, supported by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line that follows the creek’s natural path. The landscape is heavily marked by agricultural infrastructure, including numerous instances of a Well and specialized Siphon systems likely used for water management in this high plains environment. For those tracing family histories or local heritage, the map identifies specific burial grounds like Vineman Cem and Long Island Cem, alongside industrial features such as the Sandpits near the northern border. Tributaries like Wildcat Creek and Haystack Creek carve through the dissected uplands of the Long Island and Prairie View townships, illustrating a rural economy deeply tied to its water sources.
