1968 Map of Murphysboro

About this map

Murphysboro serves as the focal point of this Jackson County survey, situated at the intersection of significant rail lines and the winding Big Muddy River. The urban grid is densely detailed with landmarks such as the Courthouse, Hospital, and several local schools like Douglas Sch and Lincoln Sch. The landscape surrounding the city is defined by the sharp meanders of Beaucoup Creek as it flows south toward the river, passing near the Harrison settlement and the rural Pate Chapel.
