1932 Map of Manito
USGS Topo · Published 1932About this map
The Illinois River corridor in the early 1930s is defined by a complex network of backwater lakes and drainage projects, where the Chicago and Illinois Midland and Chicago and North Western railroads cross the lowlands. Settlements like Manito and Forest City serve as hubs for an agricultural landscape meticulously divided by systems such as the Quiver Ditch and Main Ditch. This era shows the river bottom before modern transformations, featuring specialized landmarks like the Mink Island Hunting Club and the Spring Lake Elevator No 2 near Radville.
