1920 Map of Monroe
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Monroe serves as the central hub of this Green County landscape, where the Illinois Central and Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul railroads intersect to drive the local agricultural economy. The survey reveals an exceptionally dense network of rural one-room schoolhouses, illustrating the decentralized educational system of the early twentieth century. Named landmarks such as Dry Goods Box School, Hardscrabble School, and Buckskin School are scattered across the townships of Sylvester and Mount Pleasant.
