USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Murphysboro serves as the focal point of this 1930s landscape, situated at the bend of the Big Muddy River where the Southern and Mobile and Ohio rail lines converge. The map illustrates a densely settled rural landscape defined by an intricate network of country schools like Sugar Hill School and Cox Prairie School, and community gathering points such as Grange Hall. To the west, the elevation rises toward Fountain Bluff, while the central and eastern sections are marked by smaller railroad stops including Vergennes, Oraville, and Texas Junction.
