1973 Map of Masonville

About this map

Masonville serves as the primary settlement on this landscape, positioned along the Illinois Central Gulf railroad line. The map captures a largely agricultural region spanning the border of Buchanan and Delaware counties, where a network of watercourses including Coffins Creek, Silver Creek, and Sand Creek dictates the drainage patterns across several townships. The presence of multiple cemeteries, such as Greenwood Cem and St Mary Cem, alongside the Prairie Center Community Hall, suggests a well-established rural social fabric and provides specific points of interest for genealogical research.
