USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
Mount Vernon serves as the central hub of this Southern Illinois survey, showing a dense grid of streets and the Fair Grounds just as the mid-century era approached. The surrounding landscape in Jefferson County and southern Marion County is defined by an incredibly dense network of rural schools and churches, reflecting a period when small, local community centers like George College School and Old Shiloh Church were the heart of social life.
