1954 Map of New Athens West
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The Kaskaskia River dominates this mid-century landscape, carving a winding path through the borderlands of St. Clair and Monroe counties. This survey reveals a complex hydrological network of oxbow lakes and backwaters, including Halfmoon Lake, Sawmill Lake, and the evocative White Cabin Slough. These water features define the eastern half of the map near New Athens, where the Illinois Central railroad crosses the river, linking the rural riverbanks to broader regional markets.
