USGS Topo · Published 1912About this map
Silver Creek and the winding Kaskaskia River define the agricultural landscape of south-central St. Clair County on the eve of the First World War. This territory, spanning from Mascoutah in the north to Marissa in the south, shows a mature network of early-twentieth-century infrastructure. Three major railroads—the Louisville and Nashville RR, Illinois Central RR, and St. Louis and Cairo RR—bisect the prairies, dictating the growth of shipping points like Freeburg and Lenzburg.
