1933 Map of Mount Vernon
USGS Topo · Published 1933About this map
Mt Vernon serves as the focal point of this Jefferson County survey, which documents a landscape transitioning into a mature agrarian and industrial corridor during the early 1930s. The map reveals a dense network of country schools and churches, such as Wells Chapel and Old Shiloh Ch, which anchored small farming communities before the consolidation of the mid-20th century. The presence of multiple rail lines, including the Southern and Illinois Central, highlights the region's importance as a transportation hub, connecting smaller settlements like Dix, Texico, and Bluford to the larger markets.
