1982 Map of Murdock
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The town of Murdock serves as a central hub in this corner of Douglas County, where the industrial presence of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad meets a landscape shaped by coal extraction. Evidence of the area's mining history is scattered throughout, notably at the Mine Shaft, Air Shaft, and several Mine Dump sites. To the north, the village of Fairland borders the Missouri Pacific rail line, illustrating the importance of these transport corridors to small-town Illinois development. Away from the tracks, the terrain is defined by the winding waters of the Slough and Jordan, while the southern reaches feature the Mayhall Landing Strip. Local heritage is anchored by longstanding institutions like Wesley Chapel and the Murdock Cem, Jordan Cem, and Albin Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracking family ties in the Camargo and Bowdre townships.
