1918 Map of Morris
USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
Morris serves as the industrial and transportation hub of this Illinois landscape, where the Illinois River meets the historic Michigan and Illinois Canal. The map reveals a high density of rural schoolhouses, including the Red Brick School and Jugtown School, reflecting the settled agricultural nature of Grundy County in the early twentieth century. To the southeast, the region shifts toward industrial extraction near Coal City and Carbon Hill, where a complex network of railroads like the Chicago and Alton and the Elgin Joliet and Eastern serve the mining and manufacturing sectors.
