1953 Map of Manhattan
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The village of Manhattan serves as a central junction for three major rail lines in the early 1950s, where the Wabash and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific tracks intersect south of the Elgin Joliet and Eastern line. This survey captures a rural Illinois landscape transitioning into a more industrial era, evidenced by the Tank Farm positioned along the western rail corridor. Despite these developments, the area maintains its agricultural roots, organized around landmarks like the Green Garden Ch and rural education centers such as Reiter Sch.
