1949 Map of Mc Lean

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Sugar Creek winds through the heart of this central Illinois landscape, defining the topography between Bloomington and Atlanta. The map documents a mid-century agricultural region structured by its railroads and township boundaries. The Gulf Mobile and Ohio line serves as a primary transit corridor, linking the settlements of Shirley, McLean, and Stanford. This survey is particularly valuable for its detail on rural community infrastructure, capturing numerous one-room schoolhouses like California Sch and Covel Sch before consolidation. The spiritual and social centers of the day are well-represented, from Mount Pleasant Ch to the Funks Grove Ch. Local historians will also find a significant record of early burial sites, including the Brooks Grove Cem and Grassy Ridge Cem, often the only remaining markers of the area's earliest pioneers.
