About this map

The winding Big Muddy River and its tributary Beaucoup Creek define the landscape north of the Jackson County seat in the late 1960s. The city of Murphysboro is the focal point, showing a dense street grid including Walnut St and North St, anchored by the central Courthouse. Local history is preserved in several family and community landmarks such as McElvain Sch, Pate Chapel, and the Tower Grove Cemetery.
