1980 Map of Minier
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Minier serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated at the junction of the Illinois Central Gulf and Illinois Terminal rail lines. The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding course of the Mackinaw River and its tributaries, including the Little Mackinaw River and Sugar Creek. This 1970s-era record reveals a rural community supported by a network of small settlements like Mindale, Walnut, and Fravert, several of which are marked by family-named landmarks and local cemeteries. Genealogists can find significant local sites such as Greenwood Cem and Gains Cem, alongside specialized features like the Patch Landing Strip. The land use pattern reflects a late-century agricultural economy tied closely to the riparian corridors and the remaining rail infrastructure crossing the Tazewell and McLean county lines.
