USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The Illinois Central, Gulf Mobile and Ohio, and Chicago and North Western railroads anchor the local economy of this central Illinois landscape in the late 1940s. Centered on Mason City, the map reveals a meticulously organized agricultural grid dotted with dozens of rural schoolhouses and neighborhood cemeteries. Small communities like New Holland, Greenview, and Middletown serve as regional hubs, while the Salt Creek and Sugar Creek valleys define the natural drainage of the territory.
