1954 Map of Millstadt

About this map

Millstadt serves as the central hub of this mid-century Illinois landscape, where a transition from agriculture to heavy industry is clearly visible through numerous Strip Mine operations scattered across the township. The 1954 field check by the Army Map Service reveals a well-developed rural infrastructure of one-room schoolhouses and country churches, including Stookey Sch in the north and Vogel Sch near the southern border. Smaller hamlets like Floraville and Bohleysville anchor the surrounding townships of Smithton and Prairie Du Long.
