1982 Map of Newman
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The town of Newman serves as the central hub of this East Central Illinois landscape, situated where the Baltimore and Ohio rail line tracks alongside Brushy Fork. This 1980s era survey captures a predominantly agricultural region across the Douglas and Edgar County line, characterized by a meticulous grid of rural roads and drainage features such as Jordan Slough and Pope Branch. To the west, Sargent and the Fairfield Ch mark the rural social fabric, while the town of Newman itself shows concentrated residential blocks, a High Sch, and Memorial Park. Smaller settlements like Palermo and Hume anchor the northeast and southeast corners respectively, connected by the Norfolk and Western railroad. This map provides a clear record of the area's infrastructure, from the local Pleasant Ridge Cem to the complex network of Shiloh drainage ditches.
