1910 Map of Murphysboro
USGS Topo · Published 1910About this map
The Muddy River defines the southern reach of this Illinois landscape, winding past the industrial and rail hub of Murphysboro. This 1908 survey illustrates a region defined by its dense network of rural infrastructure, where small settlements like Vergennes and Ava are connected by an intricate web of competing rail lines, including the Illinois Central and the Mobile and Ohio. The concentration of one-room schoolhouses such as Sodom School, Sugar Hill School, and Jenkins School reflects the agrarian social structure of Jackson and Perry counties before the consolidation of rural districts.
