1983 Map of Long Point
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Ancona and Long Point anchor this northern Illinois landscape, where the flat agricultural plains of Livingston and La Salle Counties are dissected by Eagle Creek and Moon Creek. This 1983 provisional survey highlights a transition in land use, from the traditional agrarian network of Osage and Reading townships to specialized infrastructure like the Ancona Gas Storage Field. A notable military installation, the USAF Dewline Training Center, appears near the center of the sheet, marking the era's Cold War training requirements. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a diagonal path through the terrain, connecting small settlements like Garfield and Leeds. Local history is preserved in the location of the Annunciation Ch and the Township Hall, providing essential landmarks for genealogists tracing family roots in these rural communities.
