1943 Map of Monticello
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Sangamon River meanders through the southeastern portion of this Central Illinois landscape, anchoring a region defined by its intensive agricultural grid and dense network of rural schoolhouses. During the early 1940s, the area's social fabric was centered around small crossroads communities and family-named landmarks such as Campground Cem and Greenleaf Cem. The mapping reveals a high concentration of local education sites, including the Weedman Sch, Victory Sch, and Champion Sch, which served the scattered farming families in townships like Goose Creek and Willow Branch.
