1966 Map of Marion
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
Marion serves as the bustling urban center of this mid-1960s survey, defined by its complex grid of schools like McKinley Sch and Longfellow Sch and its role as a regional hub for the Missouri Pacific Railroad and Illinois Central Railroad. To the west, the landscape transitions into the expansive Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge, where the Federal Penitentiary stands in proximity to Crab Orchard Lake. This period captures the town just as Interstate 57 began to reshape local transit patterns, bypassing older settlements like Hudgens and Neilson. The map is particularly detailed regarding community landmarks, including the VA Hospital and numerous rural houses of worship such as Freedom Ch and Shiloh Ch, alongside several family cemeteries that document the long-standing genealogical roots of Williamson County.
