1995 Map of Minonk
USGS Topo · Published 1996About this map
The town of Minonk serves as the central hub of this mid-1990s survey, where the convergence of rail lines and agricultural transport defines the local economy. Traces of the region's industrial past are visible in the form of a Mine Dump near Rutland, reflecting a landscape once shaped by coal extraction before it fully transitioned to intensive farming. The infrastructure for crop dusting and local aviation is evident through private facilities like Hattan Farms Landing Strip and the Oltman-Shuck Landing Strips south of town. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several regional burial grounds, including St Patricks Cem, Minonk Township Cem, and Rutland Cem. The drainage patterns of the North Branch Crow Creek and South Branch Crow Creek weave through the townships of Bennington and Clayton, illustrating how the waterway system dictated early settlement and land division across the Woodford and Marshall county lines.
