1954 Map of Millstadt

About this map

Millstadt serves as the primary hub of this St. Clair County landscape, which transitions from organized town grids to active industrial zones and quiet rural crossroads. The topography is shaped by extensive coal extraction, with several Strip Mine operations scattered throughout the Smith Ton and Stookey townships. Local transit history is visible in the prominent Old Railroad Grade running west of the main settlement. Community life in the mid-20th century centered on landmarks like Concordia Ch and rural education centers such as Mt Evergreen Sch. Further south, the terrain follows the winding paths of Richland Creek and Prairie du Long Creek, reaching the small clusters of Bohleysville and Floraville. This map provides a detailed look at the era's land use, where agricultural drainage meets the expanding footprint of surface mining.
