1892 Map of Morris
USGS Topo · Published 1912About this map
The Morris townsite serves as the geographic and industrial hub of this late-nineteenth-century landscape, situated where the Illinois and Michigan Canal runs parallel to the Illinois River. This waterway corridor is flanked by an extensive network of iron rails, including the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railway which cuts diagonally across the northern prairies. To the south, the emergence of Coal City and Suffern highlights the region's burgeoning extraction economy, connected to broader markets by the Chicago and Alton Railway.
