1948 Map of Morgantown
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Morgantown sits at the northern edge of this post-war landscape, where the flat till plains of Jackson township meet the wooded ridges of the Yellowwood State Forest. The geography here is defined by a transition from the agricultural valley of Indian Creek to the deep hollows and high points like Cooks Hill. Along the southern boundary, the Illinois Central railroad follows the winding path of Bean Blossom Creek, connecting small settlements like Helmsburg, Trevlac, and Needmore. This rail corridor was vital for the local timber and farming economy of the mid-20th century.
