1934 Map of Mattoon
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
The railroad hub of Mattoon serves as a central anchor in this 1930s landscape, where the Illinois Central and New York Central lines intersect amidst a dense grid of rural schools and family cemeteries. The southern portion of the city gives way to the newly established Lake Mattoon, which features a State Fish Hatchery near its northern banks. The surrounding countryside in Paradise and Pleasant Grove townships is marked by an exceptional density of one-room schoolhouses, including Mound Sch, South Loxa Sch, and Dixie Sch, reflecting the peak of the district school system before mid-century consolidation.
