1972 Map of Louisville South

About this map

Louisville serves as the industrial and civic anchor of Winston County, shown here during a period of infrastructure expansion in the early 1970s and 1980s. The northern sector of the map detail includes the historic Courthouse, City Hall, and County Hospital, while the Illinois Central Gulf railroad line bisects the landscape, facilitating the movement of local timber and sand products from several Sandpits scattered across the terrain. To the south, the community transitions into a rural patchwork of small settlements and faith centers, including Center Ridge, Estes, and Macedonia.
