USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Monticello serves as the focal point of this Piatt County landscape, situated where the Sangamon River begins its southward turn. This late 1970s record highlights a community well-served by rail infrastructure, with the Illinois Central Gulf, Norfolk and Western, and Illinois Terminal lines all converging or passing through the area. The presence of the Illinois Railway Museum near the river reflects this deep-rooted transportation heritage.
