1937 Map of New Douglas
USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
The agricultural landscape of Madison, Bond, and Montgomery counties is meticulously documented in this late-1930s survey. Significant rural hubs like Sorento, Pocahontas, and New Douglas anchor a network of rail and road, with the St Louis and Chicago and Pennsylvania lines providing vital transportation arteries through the region. The map reveals an exceptionally dense system of one-room country schools, including Hedgebound Sch, Pleasant Hill Sch, and Pin Oak Sch, illustrating the dispersed community structure of the Illinois prairie before school consolidation.
