1970 Map of Morton
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The Morton landscape in the late 1960s and early 1970s is defined by a dense intersection of major rail lines and emerging suburban growth. The Illinois Terminal, Penn Central, and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads converge near the town center, illustrating the area's importance as a central Illinois transportation hub. Residential expansion is evident around landmarks like Ward Grundy Sch and the Blessed Sacrament Sch, while the outlying areas maintain their rural character through numerous family-named burial grounds including Winzeler Cem and Vaughter Cem.
