1951 Map of Morganfield
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
The sprawling Camp Breckinridge military installation dominates the southeastern portion of this 1951 survey, its boundaries and barracks infrastructure contrasting with the rural Union County landscape. The city of Morganfield serves as the regional hub, where the Illinois Central railroad lines converge near essential local services like the sewage disposal and filtration plant. Beyond the town center, the terrain is defined by the Chalybeate Ridge and the Dyer Hills, with numerous small family burial grounds such as Givens Cem and Rayburn Cem scattered across the countryside. An active Oil Field and proximity to agricultural settlements like Hamner and Harding reveal an era of diverse land use, where small country churches like Antioch Ch remained central to community life along the winding banks of Eagle Creek and Sibley Creek.
