1937 Map of Marshall
USGS Topo · Published 1937About this map
The city of Marshall anchors this eastern Illinois landscape, serving as a hub for the Pennsylvania Railroad and State Highway No 1 during the mid-1930s. The terrain is defined by the winding Wabash River and its numerous tributaries, including Sugar Creek and Mill Creek, which have carved deep drainage patterns through the land. This survey reveals a remarkably dense network of rural infrastructure, from river crossings like Bohn Ferry and Waters Ford to an exceptional concentration of namesake country schools such as Rabbit Ridge Sch, Sassafras Sch, and Stringtown Sch. Local history and genealogy are deeply embedded in the many family and community cemeteries like Forsythe Cem and Ziegler Cem, while the riverfront near Darwin and Aurora Bend illustrates the region's enduring relationship with the water.
