1961 Map of Medon

About this map

Medon and the surrounding tri-county borderlands of Madison, Chester, and Hardeman counties are defined by a complex network of creeks and small farming communities in this early 1960s survey. The Illinois Central Gulf Railroad corridor serves as a primary north-south axis, passing through the town of Medon and past local landmarks like New Ch and the McDaniel Cem. The landscape transitions from agricultural holdings in the north to the wooded terrain of Chickasaw State Park in the south, which contains Lake Placid and Cypress Creek.
