1925 Map of Marion
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
Marion serves as the primary urban hub in this Southern Illinois landscape, which was surveyed in the 1920s and revised just before the war. The map reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure, particularly the staggering number of country schools like Thorn Thicket School, Cherry Valley School, and Irish Ridge School. These small institutions, along with numerous houses of worship such as Mission Ridge School and the Mormon Church, reflect a highly decentralized agrarian society where community life was centered on the township level.
